Malone currently hold a three point advantage at the top of the Division One from the Hinch, and although bonus points will still have to be taken into consideration on the day, a win for Malone by any margin secures the Stevenson Shield will return to Gibson Park for the first time since 1993.

Ballynahinch last won the title in 2015 - their third on the bounce - and must win as well as deny the Belfast boys anything from the game to get the trophy back to the Co Down clubhouse.
