Queen's University (7th) v Malone (4th), Dub Lane, Friday, September 30, 7.30pm

This is Queen's second successive Ulster derby at home - they drew 19-all with Banbridge last week - and Malone make the short trip to the Dub on the back of their own try-less stalemate with Highfield.

Both sides will hope for better weather conditions, with Queen's hungry to chalk up their first win. Frustratingly, the students lost their grip on winning positions against both Highfield and Bann.

Malone's scrummaging, led by hooker Dave Cave, was impressive in their 3-3 draw with Highfield, however they need to improve their discipline with three yellow cards in their first two outings.
