So, in the Premier Division, the tie of the weekend is Derry City's visit to Turner's Cross. City manager Alan Matthews last night said that his team was struggling to find the net, indeed only "Gorgeous" George O'Callaghan has found the net this term for the Leesiders, Derry City meanwhile have had no problems in that department, scoring an impressive five already. Derry City will be looking to maintain early momentum to keep the pressure on St Pat's. Should be a decent game, and is on TV somewhere.

Drogheda should pick up their first win with the visit of newcomers to the division Cobh Ramblers to United Park, even though they haven't netted a single goal this season in the league, they will be too strong for a determined Cobh side.

Early Table-toppers St. patrick's Athletic welcome Galway United to Richmond Park, and again, the front runners should be too strong for Galway. Expect three points to stay in Dublin.

Both Finn Harps and UCD have had mixed starts to the season with a win and a loss each, and would seem to be fairly evenly matched. This could prove to be influential in the relegation places come Novemner, so both sides will be looking for the win. I think they'll cancel each other out, and a draw will be the outcome in Donegal.

Currently sitting bottom of the lot, Bray Wanderers make the journey to Drumcondra to face Shamrock Rovers.Shamrock Rovers have had an impressive start to the season, picking up all three points when they visited the champions, and earning a draw with Cork City. Although Wanderers also took a point off Cork City, they were beaten at home by UCD. A win for the home team seems would be where my money is going.

In the First Division, Sporting Fingal are fresh from a nice win over Athlone Town, and welcome Limerick 37 to Santry this weekend. Both teams will be looking for a win, but I think a draw is most likely.

Athlone Town must overcome Waterford United at home, but I think the Munster side will be too strong for Athlone, and will pick uo another three points.

Shelbourne travel to Monaghan, and will be looking for three points so they can stay in touch with the other early movers in the division. I expect Shels to win here.

Kildare County and Wexford Youths are both without a win as the Thoroughbreds go to play Mick Wallace's charges. I think Kildare County will come away with all three points.

A mouthwatering game in Flancare Park, and yet another early-season promotion Six-Pointer with the Lilywhites of Dundalk going to the midlands. Dundalk already drew with fellow title contenders Shels, so will be going for the win here, although I'm expecting a draw.
