After a four-game run without a win, Ballynahinch are determined to get their bid to make the Play-Offs back on an even keel again starting on Saturday at struggling UCD.
With three defeats and a draw behind them, Hinch now find themselves fifth in Division 1A and needing to bank a result at Belfield when they meet the side they previously tasted victory against back in November.
James Humphreys is at out-half again for Hinch who also have Reuben Crothers, Conor McKee and Bryn Ward in their ranks.
Matthew Booth and Paul Kerr are at midfield for Hinch in the absence of the sidelined Mark Best and George Pringle.
Down in eighth, City of Armagh, who have a game in hand, are at home to Young Munster with Chris Parker’s squad seeking to secure a victory while also hoping that Hinch do a job on one from bottom UCD who are three points behind the Palace Grounds outfit.
Queen’s University travel to Old Belvedere a week on from their annihilation of Highfield though the task against the 1B leaders will be rather more formidable.
In 2A, leaders Instonians are on the road at Barnhall in the wake of their last-gasp win at home to Cashel while Banbridge host Navan and relegation-battling Ballymena take on Old Crescent at Eaton Park.
Promotion-chasing Dungannon journey to Galwegians for their 2B fixture while third-placed Clogher Valley are at home to Sligo.
Also, in 2B, ninth-placed Malone go to UL Bohemians and Rainey entertain Skerries seven days after the Magherafelt club put Malone to the sword.
As for 2C, Belfast Harlequins clash with Monkstown at Deramore with the second-placed home team bidding to stay in the chase with leaders Midleton.
Ballyclare, who are now down in seventh, are at home to Dolphin and, in the basement, Omagh’s battle to avoid slipping out of the senior ranks continues but at Midleton.
