Four Ulster teams - Ballynahinch, Belfast Harlequins Dungannon and Malone - are in action across Divisions 1A & 1B of the Ulster Bank League. Games kick off at 2.30pm. ULSTER BANK LEAGUE: DIVISION 1A BALLYNAHINCH (9th) v GARRYOWEN (10th), Ballymacarn Park A big game for the two teams lying at the bottom of the table; Garryowen are currently last with Ballynahinch just two points above them. Neither side has managed a win to date which is especially disappointing for a Garryowen side that finished runners-up last season. They have played quite a bit better in their last two games, only to lose out narrowly to Cork Constitution and Young Munster. The same is probably true of Ballynahinch, although they played a lot of good rugby when losing 30-26 to Old Belvedere last time out. Centre Stuart Morrow remains a major threat. ULSTER BANK LEAGUE: DIVISION 1B BELFAST HARLEQUINS (5th) v DUBLIN UNIVERSITY (10th), Deramore Park The tough times continue for a Dublin University side lying bottom of the table and without a victory to date. While their form has improved, they just can't seem to secure that first win. Belfast Harlequins have moved to fifth spot after beating Malone 25-15. Worringly for the students, their goalkicker Liam McCambridge was successful with five penalties in that game. MALONE (9th) v BLACKROCK COLLEGE (8th), Gibson Park Two teams that have gone badly downhill. They are locked together in the bottom three with both side having won just once. So, this is a very big game. Malone, on the basis that they are at home, may feel they should have an edge but their form has been very erratic lately. The same applies to Blackrock who lost out to another Ulster side Dungannon 32-21 last time out. BUCCANEERS (3rd) v DUNGANNON (7th), Dubarry Park It's imperative for third-placed Buccaneers to return to winning ways after their narrow reverse against Corinthians. They are quite capable of doing so and home advantage should count in their favour. Dungannon, however, can be a dangerous side. They have one of the best talents in the division in Peter Nelson who gave an outstanding performance when scoring 17 points against Blackrock College.
