Carniny Amateurs will once again aim to live up to their billing as cup specialists this weekend.

Anthony McCartney’s side will start Saturday’s Crawford Cup fourth round tie in the unusual position of being favourites, as they host Junior Division Two outfit Remo FC at the Showgrounds 3G.

It was an all-too-familiar story for Amateurs in the Ballymena & Provincial Intermediate League at the weekend as they suffered their 11th straight defeat in the Michelin Athletic CLub-sponsored championship.

Half-time saw the Sky Blues still two goals to the good and though Carniny tried hard to get back into the game the Sky Blues sealed the win after Steven Hasson scored his second goal on the 75th
minute.
