Corinthians face Peel in FA Cup final

The Bowl hosts silverware showdown

One of the showpieces of the Manx football season takes place on Easter Saturday.

It's Corinthians against Peel in the final of the Friends Provident FA Cup at the Bowl, kicking off at 3pm.

The Whites had been leading the way in the Canada Life Premier League this season until Tuesday night, when a 4-1 loss to Rushen seriously dented their title ambitions.

They'll therefore be looking to bounce back by lifting the trophy, as they continue to try and establish themselves at Manx football's top table.

History is not on their side, though, as Corinthians have never won an FA Cup, and haven't made it to this stage since 2002, when they lost 1-0 to St Mary's.

The Westerners, meanwhile, have a long pedigree in the competition, having won it 31 times, although just three of those wins have come in the last 20 years.

They are going into a third consecutive FA Cup final, having beaten St George's in 2016 and losing to the same opponents last season.
