On Tuesday 13th February kick-off 7:45pm, FC United travel to Hyde United in the Frank Hannah Manchester Premier Cup Semi-Final.

The Premier Cup is Greater Manchester’s senior non-league competition. First competed during the 1934-35 season, the Frank Hannah Manchester Premier Cup - or Manchester County FA Shield as it was then known - was originally won by Manchester North End.

Since then, the competition has been dominated by teams in Tameside with Ashton United the most successful side - winning the trophy on 15 occasions. The clubs last success came back in 2003.

Second-placed Droylsden on 13 last won the cup in 2011 while Mossley in third with 11 wins are the last Evo-Stik League club to triumph in 2016 after a 3-1 victory over Stalybridge Celtic, their fourth win in five seasons.

The cup was lifted by FC United of Manchester for the first time last season at Boundary Park after their 1-0 win over Stalybridge Celtic.

As holders of the Manchester Premier Cup, FC United got a bye to the QF of the Cup this season winning 3-0 away at Salford City. Hyde United beat Radcliffe Borough in the 1st Round, followed by a 5-2 home victory against West Didsbury and Chorlton.

In the other Semi-Final, Droylsden host Trafford on 6th February.

The train back to Mcr Piccadilly after the game is from Newton for Hyde at 22:51 (last train). A similar distance away from Hyde Central from the ground. (Also one at 2151 but you'd have to miss the end of the match and pos pens.)

In July 2012 FCUM returned but lost 0-3. In August 2014 the Tigers lost 3-4 with Michael Norton (3) and Jerome Wright netting for the visitors.
