TULLA UTD will be clashing with Conor McGregor’s Black Forge FC in the fifth round of the FAI Junior Cup.
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight and lightweight champion, McGregor is unlikely to be in The Cragg this Sunday but his ‘pub team’ will be looking to take down Tulla in the national competition.
Mike Moloney’s side are the only Clare representatives left in the FAI Junior Cup competition following the eliminations of Avenue Utd and Newmarket Celtic in the fourth round.
An away 3-2 win against Waterford outfit Hibernians FC saw Tulla Utd progress to the fifth round. They had led 2-0 following goals from Callum Casey and Dara Ryan but conceded two goals in the space of four minutes to rely on a winner from their star man Daragh Corry to send them through.
They face off with Black Forge FC at 14:00 on Sunday.
