Castletown and Corinthians will battle it out for Manx football’s top junior trophy tonight (Thursday) when they go head-to-head in the final of the Kirby Estates Cowell Cup.
The game at the Bowl pits Group A winners Town against Group C victors Corinthians and should prove to be an interesting battle.
The Mets comfortably topped Group A with three wins out of three without conceding a single goal.
Corinthians’ run to the final has seen them rack of the biggest win of this season’s competition with a 10-0 hammering of Onchan, as well as victory over RYCOB, therefore both sides clearly know where the back of the net is.
Town boast several players who have already made numerous appearances for the Mets’ first team, such as Paddy Cooper, Noah Sansbury and Jordan Cooper.
However, the Corinthians team is littered with players who have turned out for the Whites’ first team which claimed a fine fifth-placed finish in the Premier League this season.
Names such as Callum Campbell, Connor Gorman, Rio Allison, Glenn Walker and Ryan Gartland are all regularly featured on these pages, therefore the management team of Blane Slattery, Tony Edgar, Stewart Smith and Adam Watterson have a talented squad to choose from.
As such, the Ballafletcher outfit will go into the final as favourites to lift the trophy but will need to be wary against a talented Castletown side.
Kick-off is 7.15pm.
