Lisahally get back to league action this Sunday with a home clash against the fallen giants of local football, Celtic Swifts, reports Rory Kirk.
After their unconvincing win over neighbours Maydown last week, this weekend's game will be a six pointer for the wee doggs against a team that is also at the wrong end of the league table. The league is now half way through its schedule and Lisahally will need to start collecting points to survive a relegation scrap come April.
This game however is a great chance to collect three points and on the reverse fixture Lisah' should have won easily against what resembled a Swifts over-40 team. According to my spies the only absentees from squad will be Emmett Kirk and Jonny Hume, therefore Stroker will have a strong squad to choose from with Decky Brown returning from holiday and Petie Doherty from ankle injury.
After the performances of the last two weeks, certain players will not be guaranteed starting places and if they do survive the axe their games will need to be raised and competition for places is very high at present.
On Sunday Lisahally need to ensure that over confidence and complacency has not crept into squad and that all last years work does not go to waste. Sunday should also see the return of the prodigal son Kieran Mc Glinchey. This is another great addition to squad and let's hope he is here to stay for many seasons to come.
With Stroker gradually building a squad of Strathfoyle youth the visions we had are now coming into reality and surely we have a potential team of winners for years to come. This will start in my eyes with three points on Sunday down in Strathfoyle Arena and hopefully kick start the wee doggs back barking.
