On Friday 8th February the First Trust Senior Cup final between City of Armagh RFC and Ballymena RFC will take place at Kingspan Stadium (kick-off 7.30pm).

The fixture will be a repeat of last year’s decider, when Armagh took home the coveted trophy to the Palace Grounds for the first time in their history. Ballymena will be hoping to win back the Senior Cup for the first time since 2012/13.

Armagh have enjoyed a relatively trouble-free path to the final, with comprehensive wins over Bangor and Omagh, before defeating Rainey in the semi-finals. Ballymena, however, have had a much more challenging run, edging out one-score wins over Dungannon, Malone and Ballynahinch.
