A wet and cold night off the pitch, but it was heated on the pitch and on the touchline ๐ฅ
The Irish Cup spin the wheel took me to hometown club Newry City Athletic Football Club for a Friday night under the lights at the Showgrounds.
The opposition was Drumaness Mills FC, the underdog and away side defied the odds and put in a professional and spirited performance against Stuart Kings Newry side to put themselves into the hat for the 5th round.
I was perched between the two Dugouts for this one and that was entertaining enough as the passion from both managers made for an exciting game.
I spoke to Drumaness manager Ciaran Brannigan to get his thoughts on a historic evening for the Mills.
The rain was still battering away at the Showgrounds so the audio for the interview was not the best - hopefully it turns out alright. Huge thanks to everyone down at Newry for their hospitality and kind comments!
Full highlights of the game to follow soon!
