Ards continue their Legacy Wealth Management Premier League title charge as they host relegation-threatened Ballymoney on Saturday afternoon.
The league leaders are just three wins away from being crowned champions of the division and five games from completing an invincible season.
Last weekend both Zara Malseed and Susie Cotter netted hat-trick as the side won 8-2 against Armagh and extended their winning run to eleven league games.
Now hoping to make that twelve, the side host ninth place Ballymoney who could move level on points with eighth-place Armagh if they can provide an upset.
The visitors currently occupy the relegation playoff place with just three points this season and have lost back-to-back games in the division.
At Havelock Park, Banbridge host Mossley in a huge game in the race for EYHL2 qualification.
The sides come into the weekend separated by just two points with both sides within touching distance of the top three spots.
Last weekend, Banbridge extended their unbeaten run to three with a 3-2 win over Ballymoney as top scorer Stef Ardis extended her tally to 13.
Meanwhile, Mossley were held 1-1 at home to Larne as their run of three consecutive wins came to a halt.
Elsewhere, Lurgan will be hoping to continue their fine form as they travel to face Armagh.
Fourth in the division, Andy Brown’s side are just one point outside the EYHL2 places, whilst also having a game in hand of third place Belfast Harlequins.
Last weekend saw the side bounce back from defeat against Ards, as they beat Omagh 5-0 with goals from Sarah Sargent (2), Connie Williamson, Jenny Morrow and Steph Thompson.
Meanwhile, Armagh continue their search for a second league win of the season as they look to bounce back from last weekend’s heavy defeat against Ards.
Also looking to build on a positive recent run, Lisnagarvey visit Larne.
Ryan McMaster’s side recorded an impressive 3-0 win over Belfast Harlequins last Friday night with goals from Zara Hopkins, Beth Ravey and Jess Moore – a result which sees the side sit comfortably in second place.
Having now won three league games in a row, the side could complete a league double over Larne, having beaten them 4-0 earlier in the season.
Larne have all but confirmed their status in the division for the 2026/27 season as they sit eight points above the relegation playoff place.
They have also found form in recent weeks and come into the tie unbeaten in their last four outings in all competitions – their best run of the season.
The final game of the weekend sees Omagh host Belfast Harlequins as they continue their search for a first win of the season.
The home have just one point from their ten league games this season and sit bottom of the division.
However, just two points behind Ballymoney, the side still stands a chance of beating the drop and remaining in the division.
This weekend, they face the uphill task of third place Belfast Harlequins who are looking to bounce back from last week’s disappointing loss to Lisnagarvey.
The Belfast club have lost just three league games this season but come into the weekend without a win in four.
