Geordies and Saints set up mouthwatering showpiece

by isleofman.com 14th March 2015
The winners of the last two Manx FA Cups will clash in this year’s final.
Holders St George’s will meet 2013 winners St Mary’s in the showpiece of the Manx football season on Easter Monday (April 6).
In Saturday's semi-finals, a second half Jack McVey double fired St George’s to an impressive 2-0 win at Peel.
He struck from the penalty spot to break the deadlock and clinched victory with a fine left foot drive in the closing stages to help the league champions gain some revenge for their league defeats to the westerners earlier in the season.
In the other tie, 2013 winners St Mary’s overcame the spirited showing of Second Division Colby at the Bowl with a bit to spare.
A Nathan Cooil double put the Saints in the ascendancy before Andrew Blake pounced on the stroke of half-time to give Colby a real lift.
However, Stuart Pacey restored the hosts two goal advantage soon after the break and player-manager Steven Priestnal rounded off the scoring to seal a 4-1 success and set up a repeat of the 2013 final.
