Wed July 4th
Courtmacsherry vs. Drinagh Rangers - (Ref: A Mc.D)
The Canon Crowley Park club puts their unbeaten record on the line away to Courtmacsherry on Wednesday evening. Rangers are coming off the back of a 2-1 victory over local rivals Dunmanway and have Liam Curran and Mike Doolan in excellent goal scoring form.Courtmacsherry picked up their first point of the campaign away to Clon AFC last time out and will look to Norman Fleming for goals. An away win looks the likeliest outcome from this one.
Cloughduv Celtic vs. Bunratty United
Postponed due to bereavement
Dunmanway Town vs. Castletown Celtic - (Ref: L. Wilcox)
A fiery local derby between two sides anxious to remain in the top echelons of the league is anticipated in Mohona where Dunmanway Town host Castletown Celtic. The visiting side lost out by the odd goal in five at home to Bunratty last week and will be hoping Joe Gallagher and Dan Bailey can provide the goals to help Castletown join Cloughduv in joint-third. Dunmanway are coming off back-to-back defeats at the hands of Drinagh Rangers but produced some decent football in both losses to suggest a home win is on the cards at the expense of Celtic if top scorer Kevin Hurley maintains his impressive start to the campaign.
Rosscarbery vs. Clonakilty AFC - (Ref: T. Minihane)
Two sides languishing at the bottom end of the table meet in Carrigroe where both Rosscarbery and Clonakilty AFC will be hoping to record their first victory of the summer. Ross produced a battling display to hold Arfield to a 2-2 draw last time out while a Paul McCarthy strike earned Clon AFC a share of the spoils at home to Courtmac. Expect a free-flowing game between two evenly matched sides where home advantage should swing the result in Ross' favour.
Skibbereen vs. Ardfield - (Ref: P Mc.D)
Two sides who recently served up a cracking West Cork Masters Cup quarter-final tie meet once again in the Baltimore Road on Wednesday evening when Skibbereen host Ardfield in a crucial league game. A win for Skibb would propel the home side into the top four while an in-form Ardfield can also move up the standings with an away victory. Diarmuid Keohane is the Carrigroe club's top scorer and will require close attention while Skibb will look to Billy Flaherty for inspiration. Hard to seperate either side so a we'll go for a draw from this fixture.
