City Cup
Ardmore v Foyle Wanderers
What a game this should be between arguably the two best sides in the Premier Division.
There are match winners on both sides, Ardmore have quality players in striker Calvin McCallion, midfielders Dee McGee and Peter McLaughlin.
Wanderers will look to David Scanlon to win the midfield battle and hope that Robbie Godfrey is available.
They are two sides who play attractive football, so there should be a feast of thrills in what should be a big crowd, this could go to extra-time with Ardmore the choice.
Prediction: Ardmore.
