Monkstown 2 Railway Union 0: Monkstown moved up to third place with goals from the Coles, Stephen and Geoff.[3]
Annadale 2 Banbridge 3: Banbridge staged a comeback to win their first match since October. Annadale scored first through Fergus Gibson, however, Banbridge hit back in the second half, Philip Brown equalising from a corner before going ahead through Peter Brown.

Week 11: 10-11 February 2018
Glenanne 2 Cork CofI 2: Gary Shaw scored to put Glenanne in front, but two “classy” goals by Mark Gallagher and John Jermyn saw the lead change hands. Glenanne were not to be denied, however, as they again got a late point this season with an equaliser by Shane O’Donoghue, with a “rocket of a corner drag-flick”.[4]
Three Rock Rovers 1 Annadale 1: A “drab affair” at a snowy Grange Road that only just beat the pitch inspection ended in a one-all draw as Three Rock failed to capitalise on the Glens draw. Peter Blakeney had put the home side ahead with six minutes to go, however, they could not hold on to it as Annadale equalised through John Taylor with two minutes left on the clock.[4]
Monkstown 1 Lisnagarvey 5: Lisnagarvey took full advantage of Glenanne’s draw with a trouncing of Monkstown. The Ulster side were three goals up after 12 minutes through Daniel Buser, Matthew Nelson and Andy Williamson. Andy Williamson added a fourth before half-time before Guy Sarratt managed to pull one back. Neil Glassey added a fifth for Lisnagarvey with 12 minutes to go to put them 11 points behind the Glens with three matches in hand.[4]
