LONG’S SUPERVALU CHAMPIONSHIP FIXTURES 2018

NWCU-2018-Champ-Fixtures-webThe opening exchanges in the battle for promotion has also thrown up some intriguing ties as eight clubs bid for a place in the top flight for 2019.

Ballyspallen had a season to remember last year and the Roe Valley club will be hoping for a repeat performance this time around, however like the rest of the competing sides it will all be about personnel.

Last season’s skipper Lee Ritchie has left Bridge Park to return to Eglinton and while that is a blow, Graham Kennedy’s situation could be the telling piece.

The teenager will be hot property throughout the region, however if he stays put, and the Averill brothers hang on too, Ballyspallen will be a danger to all.

They start their summer away to a St Johnston side who could also be competitive if they can iron out their deep inconsistency.

Killyclooney started 2017 like a scalded cat before things tailed off a touch at the start of the second half of the season.

Darren Moan will look for more of that early-summer form again but they have a very tough opener against Newbuildings to negotiate.

The visitors will be starting life without their talented West Indian Peat Salmon whose recent appearance for Jamaica means he cannot play in the North West under current regulations.

Their season could well hinge on who comes in as a replacement.

Glendermott, with the Cooke brothers set to be in tow start with a home game against a Bonds Glen team that has struggled in the past couple of years.

The Rectory lads really need to be winning games like this if they are to be a force in the promotion race.

Relegated Drummond will be keen to make a mark on the Championship too and again, much will depend on the players available to Chris Moore.

It’s a trip to Burndennett to begin with for them with the Tyrone side one of several who could go close this time.

There are three league games on the bounce for Championship sides before they too break for the start of cup competitions.
