Junior Soccer returns to Waterford this weekend following the Christmas break.

Two Premier Games dominate Saturday's action with both underway from seven o clock.

Tramore resume their challenge for a place at the top of the table when they host Portlaw at Graun Park.

The Seagulls are four points off the pace of Villa at the summit prior to kick-off, while Portlaw are aiming to climb from seventh with a win.
