It’s Irish Cup action this weekend as we travel to Ballyclare Comrades for an East Antrim derby. Kick-off in the Sadler’s Peaky Blinder Irish Cup 6th Round tie is 3pm. It promises to be a great affair and this Matchday Guide will provide you with all the information you need to know before the game.

1889 Sports & Social Club
1889 Sports & Social Club will be open from 12pm on Saturday with some great offers! Before heading to the game, you can call in and get a filled soda and a pint for just £5. There will be live entertainment from Daryl McCabe from 12pm – 2pm and more live entertainment when supporters return from the match with Rosie and The Sunshine Band taking to the stage from 7pm – late.
The Opposition
This is the first time the two teams have met in competitive action since Larne’s promotion, after winning the Bluefin Sports Championship last year. Ballyclare, under new boss Paul Harbinson, sit 7th in the Championship table. However, they are on a good run of form, unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three and drawing two.
