The majority of action is taking place within the Branch leagues, this weekend but there are also two ESB Irish Junior Cup matches getting underway this Saturday when Cork C of I II take on Galway II and Pegasus II take on Randalstown II the winner of each will go on to join the rest of the teams in the next round on November 14th.
Firstly to Leinster Men and Pembroke who had their closest match this season against YMCA where they just secured the victory at 2-1 will be keen to keep their winning ways on tack when they play hosts Fingal on Saturday. Railway Union who will be licking their wounds after a four nil defeat to Fingal will have a chance to redeem themselves on Saturday when they take on Monkstown who will be buoyed by their 5-2 win over Clontarf last Saturday. Clontarf who have yet to register their first points this season will have a tough job to do it this weekend when they take on the Glens who have a perfect three from three so far. Meanwhile Three Rock Rovers who dropped their first points last weekend against the Glens will be keen to re establish their winning ways when they play the UCD Students, finally Corinthian and YMCA should provide an entertaining battle at 3.30 in Whitechurch Park.
Over to the Leinster Ladies and Hermes will be keen to finally get their League Campaign underway when they take on UCD on Saturday. The Hermes girls have just one league game so far under their belt where they dropped points against local rivals Loreto. Railway Union who have been on goal scoring form of late play Glenanne who are searching for their first league points, while Corinthian will take on Pembroke Wanderers. Loreto who have a perfect three from three so far will face Trinity who have taken six from a possible nine points so far and finally on Saturday Old Alex will face Bray at 2.30pm. Sunday also offers hockey fans to catch more Leinster division 1 action when Hermes are back in action against Pembroke and Glenanne take on Old Alex.
In Ulster Men’s Hockey the One 1918 Premier League action goes full steam ahead on Friday and Saturday - Lisnagarvey will take a trip to face strugglers Bangor (Saturday 31st, 1pm, Bangor) while Banbridge face a tougher test away to Annadale’s young guns (Friday 30th, 8pm, Annadale). Cookstown have the only remaining 100% league record but this weekend they face a difficult away trip to face in form Instonians who will be hard to beat on home turf (Saturday 31st, 1pm, Shawsbridge).
The remaining fixtures are all crucial in terms of the relegation battle as Raphoe travel to north Down (Saturday 31st, 2.30pm, Comber) and Kilkeel travel to Mossley (Saturday 31st, 1pm, The Glade).
On the women’s side of the Ulster Premier Division this weeks fixtures are hard to predict with a few close encounters, firstly looking at the battle between Ards and Lisnagarvey, the match could go either way but the home advantage might just edge Ards ahead. Armagh will be keen to produce an upset when they take on Ballymoney, they are capable of beating anyone on a good day, Ballymoney although they have more experience in their ranks are failing to fire on all cylinders.
The Belfast Harlequins and Randalstown battle will be a close encounter while the Pegasus and Victorians match can only go one way in favour of Pegs against a side who have been struggling of late. Lurgan will take on Ulster Elks who have stuttered a bit lately and Lurgan have recently shown they can put the goals away.
