The big games are coming thick and fast in the Premier Division. Boyle Celtic host Castlerea Celtic this Saturday with both sides still firmly in the title race.
Elsewhere, in Division Two, Rahara Rovers and Boyle’s B team will be hoping to keep pace with Moylough ’79 at the top of the table. This could be the weekend we see sides making huge strides in the race for silverware.
