Laxey and Rushen gear up for FA Cup Final

by isleofman.com 23rd April 2011

Two clubs celebrating their centenary seasons meet in Easter Monday's FA Cup Final.

Laxey and Rushen will hope to add silverware to mark their special year.

The match is at Peel with kick-off at 2.30pm.

Laxey's route to the showpiece saw them beat Ramsey 2-1, Foxdale 3-0, St. John's 2-1 and Old Boys 4-3 in a cracking semi-final at Glen Road - they were saved from going to extra-time by a late winner from Ashley Webster.

Rushen have endured a disappointing title defence but have seen off the challenges of Ronaldsway 3-0, Gymns 5-0, Ramsey Youth Centre 6-1 and St. Mary's 1-0 in a delayed semi-final.

It should be a pretty even contest - but who will have the F.A. Cup on display at their special end of season dinner?
