Premier Division action tops bill of fare in Limerick District League junior soccer fixture list

THE main focus on this weekend’s game returns to the Limerick District League Premier Division and while leaders Fairview Rgs are distracted with cup duties, Ballynanty Rvs will be hoping to go to the top of the table if they can win at Nenagh A.

Ballynanty Rovers had no game last weekend, but will be hoping to carry the type of form that has seen them lose just once in the league (to Aisling last November).

Balla’ will be well aware that Nenagh have been playing well and are unbeaten in their last six outings (excluding a penalty shoot out loss in the Tuohy Cup to Fairview).

They have a young side with former Pike youth players Pa Steed and Aaron Cusack now bedding into the junior setup.

Aisling Annacotty and Regional Utd and Pike Rovers v Janesboro are mere ‘mid-table’ games at this stage of the season while Geraldines, seven points from danger, would not turn down another point when they host Mungret Regional.

In the Lawson Cup, holders Fairview Rgs will be favoured to advance when they visit Summerville Rovers. The Premier A side have been improving of late but the Premier league leaders will be keen to keep their momentum going.
