It's been a rollercoaster cup ride for the Athlone club this season.

Monksland United will have their hands full when it comes to the Combined Counties Cup Final this weekend according to their manager Tony O'Sullivan.

Birr Town provide the opposition to the Westmeath club that narrowly missed out on Senior Division league honours for the second year in a row.

Monksland United's run to the CCFL Cup final has seen plenty of drama.

St Peter's were seen off in extra-time in the quarters, and Mullingar Athletic took them even further to penalties where O'Sullivan's side won out despite missing their first spot-kick.

He looks forward to this year's decider with David Hollywood:

Kick off at Leah Victoria Park in Tullamore is set for 6.30 on Saturday and we'll have live commentary on Saturday Beat with Brian Moss.

Our coverage of the Combined Counties Cup Final is with thanks to O’Brien’s Renault Mullingar – home of the all new Renault Megane E-Tech 100% electric. See pobrien.ie

And the HSE’s public minor injury unit located at the Charter Medical Campus, Ballinderry Mullingar with rapid assessment, treatment and discharge. For more see cmph.ie
