QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY v CITY OF DERRY 

This is a crucial league fixture for both sides as they look to make up ground on the three leading sides in the league; Ballynahinch, Rainey and Ballymena. The break from the Ulster Bank League will have given Robbie Moore and his coaching team the opportunity to freshen up and refocus the squad on their goals of winning both the Ulster Senior league and the First Trust Senior Cup. This game and the cup semi final on 16th November against Banbridge are vital matches for the Students.

City of Derry coaches Mark Nicholl and Ashley Blair continue to rotate their playing squad as they push for silverware in the Ulster Bank league and the Ulster Senior league and Cup. They also have a crucial last four clash in the First Trust Cup on 16th November, with Ballynahinch the opposition. How will the coaches manage their playing panels over the next two weeks? It's a really tough game to call as both teams are in showing good Ulster Bank League form.

ARMAGH v BALLYMENA 

This game was previously postponed. Armagh coach Andy Hughes will look for his side to return to winning ways after their shock defeat in Limerick last week. They will then have a weekend off before the Ulster Bank League resumes on 23rd November. Ballymena have been impressive this season focusing their playing resources on the league competitions. Coach Andy Graham will be pleased with the direction the club are moving in at all levels. This fixture will allow fringe players to push for 1st XV places; such is the competition at Eaton Park. Ballymena to win, just!
