Drumaness Mills will have to wait for their opportunity for an Irish Cup giant-killing after their sixth round tie away to Glentoran was postponed.

The game between the lowest-ranked side left in the competition and the 23-times winners was scheduled to take place at the Oval on Saturday afternoon (15:00 GMT) but fell victim to a waterlogged pitch.

A club statement from Glentoran said the surface was unplayable after "prolonged and heavy spells of rain".

The game will now be played on Tuesday, 17 February at 19:45.

Two other games in the sixth round, Warrenpoint Town's hosting of Larne and Institute's trip to Loughgall, both 15:00, remain on following pitch inspections on Saturday morning.

The Irish Cup weekend began with a huge shock as Championship leaders Limavady United knocked out Irish Premiership champions Linfield.
