Irish Cup Action Returns This Weekend

Crusaders v. Carrick Rangers
Glentoran v. Dungannon Swifts
HW Welders v. Ballymena United (1:30pm)
Portadown v. Linfield

We focus on two lengendary figures in the game who were not only teammates at Glenavon, but are great friends and even work colleagues off the park; Glenn Ferguson and Gary Smyth.

Between them they hold a host of Irish Cup winners medals, 
and last year Ferguson made his first cup final appearance as a manager - albeit a defeat at the hands of the Lurgan Blues.

Smyth's Harland and Wolff Welders sprung a surprise 2-0 victory over holders Glenavon at Tillysburn to make this season's quarter final stage, while Ferguson's Ballymena United beat Cliftonville 2 - 1 at Solitude. 

IrishFA TV managed to get 'Spike and Smicker' together for a head to head dual. The banter was mighty, you decide who comes out on top!
