Irish Cup: Date switch for Windsor Park semi-finals
- From the section Football
The dates for this year's Irish Cup semi-finals at Windsor Park have been switched at the request of the PSNI.
Linfield's encounter with Lurgan Celtic was scheduled for Friday, 1 April but it will now take place a day later.
The Friday night slot is now filled by the meeting between Premiership leaders Crusaders and Glenavon.
(function()
if (window.bbcdotcom && bbcdotcom.adverts && bbcdotcom.adverts.slotAsync)
bbcdotcom.adverts.slotAsync("mpu", [1,2,3]);
)();
The reasons for the request include "potential public disorder, raised community tension and other events in the city on the evening of 1 April."
"After careful consideration the Challenge Cup Committee of the Irish FA has agreed to the formal request," said the IFA on Wednesday.
Lurgan Celtic provided a major upset in the quarter-finals with a 3-2 victory over Portadown at Shamrock Park.
