Sadler s Peaky Blinder Irish Cup round one preview
It has been a long time coming and it will be the most unusual of competitions, reflective of these most unusual of times, but the 2020/21 edition of the Sadler s Peaky Blinder Irish Cup is finally upon us.
Despite a reduced number of clubs taking part there is still a keen sense of anticipation in the air ahead of tonight s seven first round ties (kick-off 7:45pm), with a further three to be decided on Saturday.
With holders Glentoran receiving a bye into the next round much attention will instead be focused on league leaders Linfield who welcome Annagh United to Windsor Park, a game to be streamed live on BBC NI and iPlayer.
