Irish Cup: Seaview to host Carrick-Crusaders quarter-final

Carrick Rangers have given up home advantage in Saturday's Irish Cup quarter-final against Crusaders with Seaview confirmed as the venue.

Carrick's pitch at the Loughshore Hotel Arena has been plagued by waterlogging with nine postponements this season.

The possibility of the quarter-final taking the total into double figures has led to the switch.

Rangers have used Seaview as their "home' venue in recent games in order to avoid a fixtures backlog.
