Parish Cup semi-finalists discover their fate

Stromness’s Andrew Groundwater holds the Parish Cup aloft after last year’s victory.

The draw for The Orcadian Parish Cup took place this morning.

The draw — made live on Monday’s edition of BBC Radio Orkney — saw St Andrews face St Ola and Birsay take on defending champions Stromness.

St Andrews caused an upset by knocking Rendall out and will be hopeful of upsetting the odds once more against title favourites St Ola, who boast a side littered with county standard players.

Stromness — winners of the last three Parish Cups — will be expecting a tough test against their fellow West Mainlanders Birsay.

The first legs of the semi-finals are set to be played on Sunday, July 8, with St Andrews v St Ola at 3pm, and Birsay v Stromness at 7pm.

The second legs will take place on Sunday, July 22, with Stromness v Birsay at 3pm, and St Ola hosting St Andrews at 7pm.
