Limavady United v Linfield Swifts in Ladbrokes Intermediate Cup Final

The treble is up for grabs tonight when Limavady United and Linfield Swifts meet in the Ladbrokes Intermediate Cup final at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park (kick-off 7:45pm). 

Paul Owens' Roesiders and Alan Dornan's Swifts finished top of their respective leagues and will be looking to add the Intermediate Cup to put the icing on the cake of what has been a hugely successful season for both sides. 

United clinched the NIFL Premier Intermediate League for the second year in a row, finishing a comfortable ten points clear of their nearest challengers. On top of that, they defeated Ardstraw on Boxing Day to lift the Craig Memorial Cup. 

And that 'tale of the tape' has a familiar feel for the Swifts. They, too, can point to festive success in the form of the Steel & Sons Cup before going on to be crowned champions of the inaugural Premiership Development League, pipping Ballymena United Reserves to the title.

To book their place in tonight's decider, the 'wee' Blues got the better of Newington by the odd goal in nine in an exciting semi-final at Dixon Park.

Prior to that Donegal Celtic fell by the wayside in the quarter-finals, as did Bangor, Newcastle, Oxford Sunnyside and Ballywalter Rec. before that.

Meanwhile, Limavady hit five past Hanover in the semis, ended Cliftonville Olympic's interest in the last eight and swept aside Crumlin Star, Magherafelt Sky Blues, Wakehurst and Iveagh United in the earlier rounds.

Admission tonight is £7 adults/£3 concession.
