“Star are seven points ahead of us in pole position, but we have five games in hand, so this will be a virtual six-pointer,” said boss, Stephen Hughes.

The Wee Reds will be dubbed favourites, especially as they thrashed Star 6-2 in September, but since then the Carrick lads have strung together a series of impressive wins.
