Omagh (4th) v Midleton (2nd), Thomas Mellon Playing Fields

Omagh were triumphant on their return to All-Ireland senior rugby last Saturday, winning 14-13 at Bruff thanks to man-of-the-match Scott Elliott's 67th-minute penalty. But head coach Phil Marshall warned: "We certainly have to learn quick and will be anticipating some fierce battles from what we've seen so far."

The Accies' first home game sees them come up against a Midleton side that overcame Seapoint 20-10 in round 1, with 15 of their points supplied by ace place-kicker Stuart Lee. Rory Horgan, who started at inside centre, and Michael 'Yorkie' Cronin were among their best performers on the day.

Lee Warnock will start at full-back in Omagh's only change, replacing the sidelined Lee Murphy (concussion). Look out for the versatile Mervyn Edgar, a former captain who is in his 13th season and who has played in all three rows of the Omagh pack.
