Spring Back!

After their collapse against Glentoran last Saturday, United will be anxious to bounce back in tomorrow night's Crest County Antrim Shield semi-final at home to the Crues. Victory would not only see United through to the final, but would set up a meeting with their conquerors of last Saturday, Glentoran, after they defeated Cliftonville 2-1 tonight. It looks like United will go into the game without their under-21 International rightback, Aaron Callaghan, while leading scorer Davitt Walsh is rated as doubtful with a chest infection. On the plus side Boydie is available for selection once more as are, Aiden Watson, Simon Kelly, Fitzy and Stuart King. King may in fact get the nod over young David Cushley, who bore the brunt of Glentoran's heavy tackling last Saturday and may not be risked in this game. United manager Tommy Wright hinted that young Johnny Flynn might get a game in central defence alongside Albert Watson at the expense of Gary Haveron, who had a real 'stinker' on Saturday. Goalkeeper Paul Murphy may also be under pressure from reserve keeper Sean O'Neill after dropping yet another 'clanger' on Saturday. But whoever gets selected for tomorrow night's game, one things for certain, a victory at all costs is absolutely vital. So come on Sky Blues, let's shag those toothless tigers, yes its 'high' time, to stand up and be counted!
