Waterford Premier returns this weekend

Waterford Premier returns this weekend

After two weekends off owing to FAI Junior Cup commitments, the Waterford Premier League is back this Sunday.

Tramore are hoping to reel in league leaders Villa when they make the trip to face Waterford Crystal.

The Graun Park outfit will be hoping to see more goal-scoring from their top scorers Michael Brennan, Sam Sheppard and Dara O'Brien who have all notched two goals a piece in their three outings to date. Crystal meanwhile had to accept an opening day draw (1-1) with Dungarvan before hammering Carrick United five-nil. They have been buoyed by the goal-scoring efforts of Dylan Butler (2), Brandon Deady (2), Michael Hearne (2), David Adebayo (1) and Jake Mooney (1).

Elsewhere Bohs look for their second win of the campaign away to Ballinroad who are aiming for their first win after three games. The West Waterford club suffered heavy defeats at the hands of Villa (6-1) and Dungarvan (5-0) in recent weeks. While Bohs find themselves fourth in the table with four points on the board. Those points came thanks to a 3-2 win over Waterford Crystal and a 2-all draw with Dungarvan.

Then it's a bottom-of-the-table clash with Carrick United and Portlaw in Carrick Beg with both teams notching a draw and two losses to date.

Neither club have impressed to date with just one goal scored each.  Aaron Walsh found the net for Carrick in their opening-day draw with Ferrybank. Portlaw's Michael O Connor has been keeping their scoreboard active so far, scoring twice in two games (Hibs & Ferrybank) for what are Portlaw's only goals in the early stages of the season.

All games on Sunday are underway from 11 am.

Full league standings after three games are as follows:
