Lisburn have chance to get league season into gear this weekend after a poor start

Lisburn have been handed a chance to get their Premier League season into gear this Saturday.

Having lost their opening three league encounters, they are to play Lurgan in the postponed game from three weeks ago. As both teams have already been eliminated from the Irish Cup second round, which was to be played this Saturday, the opportunity is there to complete the original fixture.

Lisburn skipper Davey Simpson will be keen to get his team into winning ways but they face a very determined Lurgan team which has already won two of their opening league meetings and with professional Godbole in supreme form the points will be hard fought at Pollock Park.

Lisburn’s biggest problem has been a lack of runs from a batting order which on paper should be capable of good competitive scores but as yet has not produced an innings of real substance.

There is still a long way to go in the season and a win on Saturday would greatly help the flagging confidence of the Lisburn team and set on the path to better things especially as they will soon be able to play their home fixtures in the Park instead of having to concede the advantage.

The game at Pollock Park starts at the slightly earlier time of 12.30p.m.
