Ards will meet Downpatrick in the semi-final of the Paddy Power Steel & Sons Cup.

The match will be played on Wednesday 25th November at Seaview, where a new 3G synthetic pitch is currently being installed.

The second semi-final between Kilmore Rec and HW Welders will be played a week earlier at the same venue, ensuring both eventual finalists will have had time on the new surface.

Downpatrick compete in the Premier Division of the Amateur League and their run in this season's Steel and Sons Cup has included wins over Barn, both Newingtons, Lisburn Distillery IIs and finally Grove United in Saturday's quarter-final.
