The Irish Football Association has confirmed that Glentoran wish to take their Irish Cup expulsion to arbitration over the Joe Crowe eligibility affair.
As a result, the second semi-final of this season’s competition, between Ballymena United and Newry City, will not now proceed on Wednesday, April 13 as originally scheduled.
Newry were reinstated after losing 1-0 to Glentoran in the quarter-finals after it was found Crowe had been ineligible to feature in the tie. The Oval club was subsequently thrown out of the competition.
