Football: Hospital Cup semi-finals beckon

It's one of three cup competitions in action this weekend

As the 2024/25 Isle of Man football season draws closer to its end, three cup competitions will form the majority of this weekend's showdowns.

The last-four phases of the Manx Quality Sheds Hospital Cup and Ascot Hotel Junior Cup will be held across Saturday and Sunday respectively (3-4 May).

Elsewhere tomorrow (3 May) the first of the two semi-finals for this year's Paul Henry Gold Cup tournament for Division 2 sides takes place.

It'll see Division 2 and Woods Cup champions Braddan playing host to Colby.

In the Hospital Cup, premier league champions Peel - after beating Ayre United in midweek a quarter-final showdown - head to Ramsey whilst Laxey will be looking to avoid complacency against Douglas High School Old Boys (Dhsob.) who secured promotion to the top flight earlier this week.

Meanwhile, Sunday (4 May) in the semi-final stage of the Junior Cup will see St John's United host Ayre United whilst Rushen United travel to St Mary's.
