NCU Premier League leaders Woodvale will finish the season with four home matches, with a possible title decider against Waringstown, the team currently leading the chase, on the final day.
The fixtures for the remainder of the season, when the top six play each other once and the bottom four play their relegation rivals twice, were released yesterday and as Woodvale have already played four of the other teams in the top six away from home, those teams must travel to Ballygomartin Road next month.
The leaders will start their post-split campaign on Saturday with their only remaining away fixture, against Cliftonville Academy, but that is the only top six game going ahead.
The Lisburn-Muckamore game was always going to be put back as they meet in the Gallagher Challenge Cup Final at Stormont on Friday and, at Waringstown’s request, their game against North Down is also postponed as Waringstown II are playing Lisburn II in the GMcG Junior Cup Final at Bangor on Saturday.
