Following a distinctly average return last weekend, we are more determined than ever this week. If it’s any consolation I did predict a second round knockout for Conor McGregor, but then again, this isn’t ‘Dooner’s UFC predictions’.
For last weekend’s mixed bag I’d like to apologise to…absolutely no one! No more apologies, this is the week we turn it around.
Friday, November 18th
Killeen Sportsgrounds Division 2
Castlerea Celtic B v Dunmore Town B. 8 pm: Castlerea are a tough proposition at home. Prediction: Draw.
Saturday, November 19th
Norio’s Takeaway Division 1
Ballinasloe Town B v Dysart FC. 7.45 pm: The visitors have been irresistible this season. Prediction: Dysart FC.
Glen Celtic v Rahara Rovers. 7.30 pm: A real ‘relegation six-pointer’ with only three points at stake sadly. Rahara could really do with six points, but they may have to settle for one. Prediction: Draw.
Killeen Sportsgrounds Division 2
Cloonfad United B v Hodson Bay Athletic. 7.30 pm: Good game in prospect here with a share of the spoils most likely. Prediction: Draw.

St. John’s Athletic v Moore United. 11.30 am: St. John’s are really struggling and Moore should be comfortable here. Prediction: Moore United.
Ballymoe FC v Shiven Rovers. 2 pm: Nothing can stop Ballymoe at the moment, not even Conor McGregor. Prediction: Ballymoe FC.
Ballaghaderreen FC v Ballinasloe Town. 2 pm: Both sides showing that they haven’t gone away in recent weeks. This will be entertaining. Prediction: Ballinasloe Town.
Norio’s Takeaway Division 1
Dunmore Town v Cloonfad United. 2 pm: This could be a cracker if both sides go for it. Home advantage could be crucial. Prediction: Dunmore Town.
Lough Harps v Kilkerrin United. 2 pm: This will be close but Lough Harps may just shade it. Prediction: Lough Harps.
Killeen Sportsgrounds Division 2
Moylough ’79 v Moore United B. 2 pm: As always, Moore need to win to keep up any sort of pressure on Strokestown who are overwhelming favourites to remain unbeaten this weekend. Prediction: Moore United B.
