Home comforts for local clubs in Irish Cup
Six of the seven local clubs whose names were in the hat will play in their own back yards, with Fra Miskelly’s UUJ the only team hitting the road as they take on Paul Kirk’s Lisburn Rangers.
Nortel, no strangers to a decent run in the Cup under ex-boss Jamesy Kirk, have been paired with Kilmore Rec at the Factory Grounds, and Islandmagee will have to overcome Shankill United to make it to round three.
