Tough Task!

As we trail Lisburn Distillery by 12 points, it looks like 4th place is beyond us and in fact with Newry winning tonight we now find ourselves in a 5 team fight to hold onto 6th place. Losing to Dungannon Swifts in our last game proved quite costly and we can ill afford any more slip-ups. Tomorrow's game is a potential banana skin, with Armagh City fighting for their existence in the new Premier league set-up. United go into the game minus captain Albert Watson, who must sit this one out due to a one game suspension. The good news is that new signing Mark Ward is available for selection and surely it's high time the United manager gave his three strikers, Kelby, Walsh & Ward, a chance to show what they can do and what better game to do it in than tomorrow's game against the 'apple pickers'. Never let it be said that Sky Blue Sport tried to influence a United manager, but surely Stuarty King is long overdue a rest and who better to take his place than the 'most exciting 17 year-old in Ireland', David Cushley. Cushley's skill and enthusiasm are just what United need to drive them on for the remainder of the season. Three points tomorrow is vital and that will set us up for the Easter egg encounter with Lisburn Distillery next Saturday, so come on Sky Blues, let's shag those apple pickers!
