Lidl NFL Division 4
Derry v Leitrim; Owenbeg Derry GAA Centre (4G), 2pm
Leitrim have been in blistering form this year, registering five wins from five and putting themselves within touching distance of a semi-final place.
After losing at the semi-final stage last year, a defeat that cost them promotion, Leitrim are desperate to atone for that.
Derry, in contrast, have lost four of their five games to date and this could be a tough outing for the home side.
Derry: T Cassidy; I Duggan, L Brewester, A Mulligan; S Duggan, B Donnelly (c), A McDaid; K Hargan, S Heron; C Moore, C Donnelly, A Donnelly; N Hannon, J Shivers, S Hargan.
Leitrim: M Gallagher; J Maye, R McGloin, N Morahan; D Beirne, S O’Rourke, R McIntyre; C Dolan, A Devaney; A Gilmartin, L Fox, V Egan; M Devaney, K Gormley, D Rooney.
Longford v Carlow; Mostrim GAA, 2pm
Carlow are locked alongside Leitrim at the head of affairs.
Champions in Division 4 two years ago, Carlow were relegated last year but are anxious to bounce straight back up.
And they’re going about their business in clinical fashion, with a 100 per cent record to date. Longford will be aiming for a semi-final spot and on six points alongside Offaly, they’re in the mix.
Longford: S Egan; G Kenny, L Keegan, R McGrath; K MacEntire, E Doris, E Farrell; S Gallagher (c), S Hagan; K McKeon, K Crawford, A Brady; E Sheehy, K Burke, A Darcy.
Carlow: N Hanley; A Carroll, A Roche, B Nolan; A Webb, N Forde, R Bermingham; R Bailey (c), C O’Neill; E Hayden, C Ní Shé, A Hanley; M Townsend, S Doyle, B Nolan.
