Brigade, led by Ireland's Stephen Smyth, will be hoping to make the most of home advantage when they face Ardmore in the final of the North-West Senior Cricket Cup at Beechgrove today and tomorrow.

Brigade were not extended on their way to the final, and among their key players will be their Indian professional Iftikhar Hussain, and, of course, Smyth himself.

Opening batsman Paul Brolly captains Ardmore, the club which surprised the much more fancied Donemana and then Bready in the course of their cup campaign.

Brigade (from): S Smyth (capt), D Cooke, J McCrea, V Pattrapp, M Kilgore, M Simpson, W Wilson, G Wilson, I Nicholl, S Scroggie, G Moore, A Tosh, J Torrens.

Ardmore (from): P Brolly (capt.), G McAuley, I Hussain, G Gillen, D McCourt, E Gallagher, G Brolly, D Gallagher, P O'Neill, D McAllister, E O'Kane, T Brolly, K Martin, K Curley, D Brolly.
