Westport and Iorras in cup final clash

Westport United, fresh from hitting Manulla for six in the Connacht Gold Cup quarter final last weekend in the Sportspark, will be looking for more goals and glory this Saturday in the FCS Cup Final in Milebush. The Covies will take on Iorras Aontaithe in the divisional cup final in what promises to be an exciting encounter at the home of the Mayo League. Westport ran in four goals in the second half of their game last weekend against Manulla after being held 2-2 at the break by the men from Carramore. Saturday evening’s clash will see the meeting of the sides currently in third and fourth place in the Super League table. Westport are currently in third place, only one point behind second placed Claremorris, but trailing Castlebar Celtic by four points with two games to go, cup success looks like their only realistic chance of a trophy this season. Iorras Aontaithe are a further four points behind Westport in the table. When the sides met for the first time in the league this season they played out at 2-2 draw in Westport, with United winning the return game 3-1 in Carnenash in June. The game is down for a 6pm kick off in Milebush and is a game that should not be missed by local soccer fans around the county.
