Is this the biggest upset in the Irish Cup's 144-year history?
- It's been 70 years since one of the biggest shocks in Irish Cup history and Dundela and Glenavon will meet again in this year's competition.
The article discusses a historic upset in the Irish Cup, where 12th-tier amateur team Oxford Sunnyside defeated Premiership side Ballymena United in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw. This match, which took place at the Showgrounds, is considered one of the greatest upsets in the competition's 144-year history. Oxford Sunnyside, who had previously beaten higher division teams, managed to hold off Ballymena United, a team with a rich history in the competition, including reaching the final in 1989. The victory was sealed when Ballymena's Steven McCullough missed his penalty, allowing Oxford Sunnyside to advance to the next round. This event not only highlights the unpredictability of cup competitions but also celebrates the spirit of amateur football in Northern Ireland.
