Season ticket holders at Darragh Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Dergview languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Ards will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
