Westerners aim for another success

Peel and St. George's meet in the Friends Provident FA Cup Final for the second year in a row this afternoon.

Last year the Westerners ended Geordies hopes of Grand Slam with a 3-2 extra-time victory at Castletown Stadium.

The only difference this time around: it's at The Bowl.

St. George's are chasing that unprecedented third Grand Slam once again and it's Peel who again have the chance to stop them.

Geordies faced their biggest test in a home quarter-final against Rushen when a injury-time equaliser from Ciaran McNulty saved their bacon.

The other wins came against Ayre, Marown and Douglas Athletic.

Peel have beaten Gymns, Ramsey, Braddan and Foxdale to get to today's contest.

However, they will be missing top scorer Ashley Webster who has left the Island for Australia.

Coverage of this afternoon's game will be on Manx Radio's AM1368 frequency from 3pm.
