H&W Welders are welcoming Knockbreda for another important game after their 2-5 result against 8th-placed Queen's University.
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.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
For Knockbreda it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
