Dunmurry Rec boss Dan Thornton said it will be a " Christmas miracle" if his side overcome Bangor to lift the Steel & Sons Cup for a fourth time.
The Northern Amateur Football League outfit take on the high-flying Seasiders in the showpiece final at Seaview on Christmas Eve and the scale of the task in hand is not lost on Thornton.
But the Dunmurry Rec boss insists they will do all they can to bring the trophy home for the first time in over two decades.
