Castlerea Celtic v Kilkerrin United
United gave a good account of themselves against St. Peter’s but you’d still have to fancy the hosts.
Prediction: Castlerea Celtic
Boyle Celtic v Shiven Rovers
Boyle bounced back last weekend as predicted and they should have enough to get the job done this weekend.
Prediction: Boyle Celtic
RDFL Second Division (8 pm)
Ballymoe FC B v Moore United FC B
The hosts get a slight nod.
Prediction: Moore United FC B
Saturday, September 14th

Prediction: Glen Celtic AFC
Sunday, September 15th
RDFL Premier Division
St. John’s Athletic v Ballymoe FC. 11 am
Mixed starts for both sides but the hosts are capable of getting something from Sunday’s fixture.
Prediction: Draw
St. Peter’s FC v Ballinasloe Town. 2 pm
We didn’t have to wait long for the first crunch fixture in the Premier Division. Are the champions as strong as they were? This game will provide some clarity.
Prediction: Ballinasloe Town

Dysart FC v Rahara Rovers FC
Home win.
Prediction: Dysart FC
CP Ajax v Dunmore Town AFC
The hosts to bounce back.
Prediction: CP Ajax
Cam Celtic v Roscommon United
A strikeforce of Vando and Jamie Bracken gives United a chance against anyone in this division. Bracken hit a whopping seven while Vando scored a hattrick last weekend as they ran riot against Dunmore Town.
Prediction: Roscommon United
Ahascragh United v Ballaghaderreen FC
Away win.
Prediction: Ballaghaderreen FC
Cloonfad United v Castlerea Celtic B
With twelve goals in two games so far, Cloonfad are going to take some stopping this season.
Prediction: Cloonfad United
RDFL Second Division (2 pm)
St. Cuan’s United v Cloonfad United B
Home win.
Prediction: St. Cuan’s United
Manor United v St. John’s Athletic B
The hosts can keep pace with Glen Celtic.
Prediction: Manor United
Roscommon United B v Ballaghaderreen FC B
An encouraging debut for United last weekend but they may have to wait a little longer to get off the mark.
Prediction: Ballaghaderreen FC
