Portadown, Cork to meet in Setanta Cup repeat

Portadown and Cork City meet tonight in a repeat of their stormy Setanta Cup clash last season.

Portadown and Cork City meet tonight in a repeat of their stormy Setanta Cup clash last season.

In a game that Cork needed to win to reach the final, a Gary Hamilton stunner gave Portadown a deserved 1-0 victory.

However, the game was remembered for other reasons as Hamilton and Cork 'keeper Mark McNulty were sent off.

Both players are suspended tonight and McNulty's ban is likely to affect Cork more with first choice 'keeper Michael Devine doubtful through injury.

That means that 43-year-old goalkeeping coach Phil Harrington may have to don his goalkeeper gloves. Harrington was also called into action last July when Devine and McNulty were both injured.
