No Bessbrook Cup Final at the Showgrounds

Due to health and safety reasons, Newry City AFC regrettably cannot host the 2013 Bessbrook Cup Final on Boxing Day. It is anticipated that the match will be rescheduled to take place in the Showgrounds later in the season. The current problem is a result of damage caused to one of the floodlight pylons by the heavy winds during the past week.
