Aughnamullen and Doohamlet, who both made positive starts in the Monaghan Electrical Intermediate Football League, will attempt to make it back-to-back wins at Sarsfield Park, while in contrast, Cremartin and Corduff will be looking to get off the mark when they meet in a repeat of the 2010 JFC Final. Toome, who had a surprise win over Donaghmoyne on Wednesday, play their first home IFL game for some years against Rockcorry, while home advantage could be key for Inniskeen and Tyholland against Seán McDermotts and Donaghmoyne respectively.

Eurotech

The local derby between Killeevan and Clones in the Eurotech Junior Football League is the big one, as Killeevan play their first fixture of the season and Clones aim to bounce back from their shock defeat against Oram, who themselves have a big game against Killanny, who surprised Aghabog in round one. Éire Óg are the visitors to Aghabog on Sunday, while Drumhowan and Blackhill will both attempt to get their first points in their meeting.
