Annagh United face Limavady United in League Cup Round of 32

Annagh United, top of the Championship, welcome Premiership side Limavady United for a League Cup tie on Tuesday evening as they look to extend a five-match unbeaten streak.

Annagh United host Limavady United in the League Cup Round of 32 on Tuesday evening, with the Championship leaders aiming to continue their strong domestic form in the cup competition. The match kicks off at 19:45 at the BMG Arena.

They are one point clear at the top and carry a five-game unbeaten run into the fixture, having scored 28 goals this season. Their most recent outing was a 3-1 away victory over Armagh City last Saturday.

Annagh United's recent form

That win at Armagh City was part of a sequence that also included a 5-0 home thrashing of Institute and draws with Glenavon, Warrenpoint Town and Newry City. The team's form guide reads WDDWD. Annagh's attacking prowess has been a key feature, with striker Peter Duffin contributing significantly to their goal tally. Their record of seven wins and four draws from their 12 league games underlines their consistency. This unbeaten sequence includes the 1-1 draw with Glenavon FC on Saturday 10 October and the 1-1 draw at Warrenpoint Town on Saturday 3 October.

Limavady's Premiership struggles

Visitors Limavady United arrive from the top-flight Premiership but with inconsistent results. Their last five league matches show two wins and three defeats, including a narrow 1-0 loss to Glentoran last time out. Their starting lineup in a recent defeat to Coleraine featured Gallagher, Mullan, Farren, T. Boorman, Brown, R. Boorman, Carlin, Lowry, Wilson, Boyd and Butcher. The cup represents a chance to reset after a difficult league period.

With no confirmed team news for Annagh United, the focus remains on maintaining momentum. A cup run would provide a welcome distraction as they push for promotion. Their next Championship assignment is a home fixture against fourth-placed Queen's University this coming Saturday. That league match on Saturday 24 October presents another test for the league leaders as they aim to maintain their one-point advantage at the summit. The club will look to its attacking players to make the difference against higher-division opposition and secure a place in the next round.
