It all kicked off last Tuesday with Linfield travelling to take on Coleraine the main commentary match and reporters at all the others. If Linfield and Coleraine avoid Irish cup replays, there will be another programme tonight, Tuesday 16 February, for the meeting between the two at Windsor Park.

The games come thick and fast, Tuesday 23 February will see five matches played including Cliftonville at home to Coleraine, Linfield entertain Crusaders and Glentoran travel to Portadown.

In March there are further football specials on radio Ulster 1341 Medium Wave on Tuesday 2nd, Tuesday 16th and Tuesday the 23rd and the Friendly international on Wednesday 3 March between Albania and Northern Ireland.

"It's an exciting two months for our listeners with so many big games on Saturday Sportsound and on our Tuesday night specials," said programme producer Brian Johnston.
