Semi-final Delayed: Glentoran-Coleraine Cup Tie Postponed Due to Storm Damage at Oval Stadium in East Belfast.
The highly anticipated semi-final of the BetMcLean Cup between Glentoran and Coleraine at the Oval stadium has been delayed due to severe weather conditions caused by Storm Chandra. The match, which was initially set for Wednesday, has been postponed until further notice as heavy rain and strong winds have made the pitch unplayable.
In a revised schedule, the game has now been rescheduled for Tuesday, 3rd February, with the possibility of being moved to the Coleraine Showgrounds on Wednesday, 4th February if conditions do not improve. The delay is the latest in a series of cancellations at the Oval stadium this season, including an Irish Premiership match between Glentoran and Cliftonville.
Glentoran's Declan Devine's team will now face Dungannon Swifts away from home on Saturday before resuming their league campaign against Drumaness Mills in the Irish Cup sixth round on 7th February. The BetMcLean Cup semi-final is a significant match for both teams, as it represents a crucial step towards the championship.
Meanwhile, the second semi-final between Linfield and Ballymena United at Windsor Park has been moved from Tuesday to Wednesday due to weather warnings from Storm Chadner, with kick-off now set for 19:45 GMT.
