“We know nothing about them, but will do a bit of research in advance if the game - the winners set to travel to Orangefield in round two,” he said.

“Some may think that’s a bit early for the Steel Cup to start but it has to be over by Christmas and there are many teams in it.

“I think it’s great because players will still all be flat-out to prove themselves and it will be exciting.”

Meanwhile, Amateur League side Barn United welcome Newington Rangers in the opening round, while Ballymena Premier League new boys Castle Star face a real baptism of fire in their first-ever Steel Cup match when they travel to Lisburn Distillery.
