It's
Reds again in cup
Ards will face Cliftonville in the next round of the JJB Sports Irish Cup, with the match to be played at Solitude next month. Wednesday morning's 5th round draw paired the teams together for the second time this season, and again at the same venue where Cliftonville knocked Ards out of the IRN-BRU League Cup in September. All 12 sides from the Carling Premiership were entered in the draw, along with the 20 sides to have come through round four on Saturday. Games will be played on Saturday 14th January, with replays coming into effect for the first time. Since Ards and Cliftonville last met, Niall Currie has replaced Justin McBride as Ards manager, while Cliftonville last month lifted the County Antrim Shield.
