The Tyrone men will visit Shamrock Park to take on Portadown in a Mid-Ulster cup derby.

One of only two all-premiership ties, Dungannon will hope to improve on their last visit to Portadown when they drew 1-1 at the end of November.

The Swifts will have to be at their best to beat their rivals after they also shared the points at Stangmore early this season.

Dungannon have never won the competition since its inception in 1881, but a win over their old enemies in the New Year will see them one step closer to that goal.
