Annagh United will look to consolidate their position at the top of the Northern Ireland Championship when they host Queen's University this Saturday. The league leaders hold a one-point advantage over Glenavon FC after 12 games, having amassed 25 points from a record of seven wins, four draws and one loss.
That result ended a five-match unbeaten run in the league, a sequence that included a 5-0 thrashing of Institute and draws with Glenavon and Warrenpoint Town. Annagh have scored 28 goals this season, the highest tally in the division, but conceded 15. The team's overall form across the last five games shows two wins, two draws and one loss.
Recent form
Their recent form shows two wins, two draws and that single loss from the last five outings. The 4-3 reverse against Limavady was a seven-goal thriller where X. Sproule netted for Annagh, but a late double from J. Butcher sealed the points for the visitors. You can review the full sequence of results on our fixtures page. This sequence began with a 5-0 win over Institute on Saturday 26 September, followed by a 1-1 draw at Newry City AFC on Friday 18 September, a 1-1 draw at Warrenpoint Town on Saturday 3 October, a 1-1 draw with Glenavon FC on Saturday 10 October, and a 3-1 away win at Armagh City on Saturday 17 October.
Queen's University arrive at Tandragee Road sitting fourth in the standings. This presents a significant test for Annagh as they seek to maintain their slender lead at the summit. The students' current form is not detailed in the available data, adding an element of unpredictability to the contest.
With 25 points from seven wins, four draws and one defeat, Annagh United's campaign has been built on a potent attack. Securing another three points this weekend is key to keeping the chasing pack at bay. The match kicks off on Saturday, 24 October 2026.
