Football: Remaining Railway Cup semi-final moved to midweek slot

Tie was called off last weekend due to poor weather

The remaining semi-final to be played in this year's Manx Car Store Railway Cup competition has been moved to a midweek slot later this month.

The last-four tie between Onchan and Corinthians had previously been due to take place last Saturday (6 December) but was called off due to an unfit pitch caused by poor weather.

Following consultation between the Isle of Man FA and both clubs, it's been confirmed the fixture will now be played on Wednesday, 17 December at The Bowl in Douglas with a scheduled kick-off time of 7pm.

The winner of the contest will face Peel - who defeat Laxey in the other semi-final which did take place last weekend - in the final itself which is currently due to be held at The Bowl on Boxing Day (26 December).

Heading into last weekend, the meeting of Onchan and Corinthians on 6 December was originally set to be hosted by Onchan at the Nivison Stadium.

However, following concerns heading into the weekend about pitch conditions there because of bad weather, both teams agreed to switch venue to Corinthians' home venue at Ballafletcher.

But due to the poor weather continuing into last Saturday, the decision was made that Ballafletcher was unable to hold the tie either.
