THE start date for the new North West of Ulster Intermediate Cup has been put back until December, meaning the fixture list for the bmcsports.ie Ulster Senior League has had to be altered.
This Sunday is a closed day for football under the jurisdiction of the Football Association of Ireland, owing to the WFAI and FAI Senior Cup finals taking place at the Aviva Stadium.
Consequently, there are no weekend games down for decision, but there is pone game on Monday night.
Bonagee United – who are unbeaten this season so far – will host Derry City Reserves in the League on Monday night at Dry Arch Park.
Jason Gibson’s team scored a last-gasp winner to defeat Finn Harps Reserves on Saturday night when Deano Larkin popped up on 89 minutes.
Bonagee, who played an hour with ten men, saw Corey McBride cancel out Jordan Armstrong’s opener and it was all square until Larkin pounced.
“Credit to the boys for the character they showed,” Gibson said
“A couple stood up at half-time and said if we wanted to get to that these are the games we don’t lose and we can nick the winner.
“I was impressed with the more experienced lads, Michael Funston and Sean Hume, in how they managed the game and ‘Studs’ (Eugene Ferry) in nets.”
On Sunday-week, there are three fixtures pencilled in to replace the North West of Ulster Intermediate Cup games, which had been originally set.
Bonagee United will host Letterkenny Rovers, Finn Harps Reserves are at home to Fanad United and Cockhill Celtic, the defending champions, will take on Derry City Reserves.
The revised fixtures for the North West of Ulster Intermediate Cup will be released in due course to clubs.,
