Glentoran face Armagh City at the Oval this weekend in the Irish Cup with a place in the quarter finals up for grabs. City are currently sitting in mid-table in Championship 1 having won 5, drawn 3 and lost 8 of their league games this season. The Cup is a different matter though and if Glentoran players don't perform to the level they are capable of then an upset could be on the cards.
The two sides met at the same stage of the Irish Cup last season. Armagh hosted the first game and a goal from Philip Donnelly gave them a deserved draw after a superb 30 yard strike from Marcus Kane had put the Glens in front (highlights of the game are on BBC Sport NI HERE). In the replay at the Oval it was Glentoran who went in front again; Jay Magee converting a penalty late in the first half. Midway through the second period Armagh City equalised through Stephen Murray and it took a very late goal from David Scullion to see the Glens safely through.
