DUBLIN (Interstat) — A high-powered Newry City side, fresh off a record-setting victory, will host a confident Drumaness Mills squad in the Irish Cup on Friday, Nov. 21, 2025, in a matchup of in-form Northern Irish football clubs.

Newry City enters the contest riding a wave of momentum after an 8-0 demolition of Crumlin Utd. on Oct. 25. The club has been dominant this season, outscoring opponents 16-2 across its last four matches, including a 4-2 win over Killymoon Rangers and a 3-0 victory against Knockbreda.

Drumaness Mills also boasts considerable offensive firepower, coming off a 6-4 win against Fivemiletown Uni on the same October Saturday. That victory showcased a potent attack that will be tested by Newry City’s stout defense, which has recorded three consecutive clean sheets.

Despite the statistical disparity in recent results, the Interstat game simulator projects a tightly contested affair, predicting a 2-2 draw. The simulation suggests Drumaness Mills’ offense can find cracks in a Newry City defense that has been nearly impenetrable.

The match will be played at Newry City’s home ground. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. local time.
