Defence begins at Moyola Park

Chairman Adrian Teer is happy with the draw.

“You always like to be at home, but there are a lot harder draws we could have had so it is not too bad,” said Teer.

“It’s a big day and a big occasion for Moyola Park to host the holders and we all know shocks can happen in the cup so we will have to prepare well and make the most of the chance to progress.”
