Tyrone men move into pole position

STRABANE have one hand on the Billy Henderson Senior One title after defeating one of their main rivals Brigade at Beechgrove on Saturday, they have two games remaining at home to Glendermott and away to St Johnston.

Their nearest rivals Bready lost to Donemana, on Monday night, while there were wins for Glendermott at Coleraine and Fox Lodge at St Johnston. On Sunday, Limavady had an easy win at Eglinton.

Eglinton v St Johnston

This game will probably decide which team will be playing Senior Two cricket next season. Both sides have won just one game all season, Eglinton having defeated the Donegal men away while St Johnston's only success was a win over Strabane.

Eglinton may be missing opening bowler Johnny Gardiner which will be a blow for their hopes, home advantage may swing it the villagers' way.

Prediction: Eglinton.

Coleraine v Limavady

Wilson Torrens' side have slumped in the second half of the season but their early form saved them from being involved in a relegation fight, the experience they have gained will stand to them in the future.

Limavady would probably have won the league if they hadn't to play all their games away from home, they will want to finish on a high.

Prediction: Limavady.

Fox Lodge v Donemana

Pride is all that is at stake in this one, there is always a close rivalry between both teams, the Foxies were so close to making this their best season ever but the departure of professional Darryl Brown was to much to handle.
