Derby games are always renowned for their unpredictability so anything could happen in Saturday's contest at Drom between cross-town rivals Salthill Devon and Mervue United. Having finally posted a home win at the 10th time of asking, Salthill will be buoyed up by last Sunday afternoon's triumph over Mervue.
