What a cracker this should be the Coleraine based side are the holders and they have knocked out some quality sides in reaching this stage, they play attacking football which should suit the Showgrounds pitch.

This all First Division clash will be close, the Colts knocked out second division Caw in the last round and are a very capable side on their day.

Dungiven Reserves took the Premier scalp of BBOB in the last round to show that they are a more than useful outfit, this may go to extra time.

Prediction: Tullyally Colts.

Newtowne v Burndennett

Can the Tyrone men stop the Roesiders from taking a step nearer to the treble, manager John McDaid is confident that his charges on their day are capable of beating the champions.
