Group A
Longford Town up to Windsor Park to play Linfield. A win and we're through to the final. A Draw and it's up to Linfield to make the final, Glentoran will be out and similar to Portadown may release players to keep the costs of part-time football down. I don't believe that either their manager or their fans would insist on keeping there players and extra week just to fulfill a game against their fierce rivals and cost the club any further wages. Must win for Longford. Despite being in the driving seat we need a win because anything else and we are likely to be out.
Group B.
Last nights win for Shels really put it up to Cork to get a two nil win in Portadown who are likely to field a weaker side due to the fact that they have achieved all the can and it's the end of the season and may release some of their squad to keep costs down
It's heating up and the group winner is guarenteed 80,000 eur, big money in either league....
Predictions:
Linfield 1-1 Longford
Glentoran 0-2 Linfield
Linfield to qualify
Cork 2-0 Portadown
Cork to qualify....
Cork to win this Cup outright?
