BILLY TACKLES... LEROY MILLAR

IT’S official, the wheels have come off! Cliftonville’s Chris Curran was the victor last week to put the players ahead for the season as a whole. Neither of us emerged with much glory, the Reds captain notching up a 4-1 victory thanks to his 100 per cent prediction of Carrick Rangers beating Dungannon Swifts 2-1.

Next up is a parochial battle, I’m up against a man from my old stomping ground, Leroy Millar of Ballymena United, and after the Sky Blues’ 6-3 match last week the good news is that we don’t have to try and predict their result this week.

The usual rules apply, one point for picking the correct outcome and three points for hitting the nail right on the head.

Cliftonville v Coleraine

Saturday (3.00pm)

This will be a tough, tough game, but I think it’s going to be a 2-2 draw. There should be goals but Coleraine are going to be missing two players in Brad Lyons

and Eoin Bradley who have been instrumental for them. Cliftonville are really picking things up and I think that was only a matter of time because going forward they’re really good.

Millar prediction: 2-2

Weir prediction: 3-2

Ballinamallard Utd v Carrick Rangers

Saturday (3.00pm)

There are some big games this week and I’ll have to go for Carrick in this one. Carrick haven’t been absolutely hammered by anyone, they’ve always been there or thereabouts. Ballinamallard just can’t buy a result and I can’t see it coming on Saturday.

Millar prediction: 1-3

Weir prediction: 1-0

Dungannon Swifts v Glentoran

Saturday (5.30pm)

Dungannon have been doing really well, picking up some good results, but I fancy Glentoran, even away from home. Dungannon play some good football but I will still go for the Glens.

Millar prediction: 0-2

Weir prediction: 2-2

Ards v Warrenpoint Town

Friday (7.45pm)

It’s another tough one but with Ards at home I think they’ll just edge it. There
