Default Find Text within a cell

I have a cell with the following info in it and i want to seperate the
text to another 2 cells according to where certain characters fall
(vs):

St. George's vs Sliema W.

I want the end result to show St. George's in one cell and Sliema W. in
another (adjacent to it)
I'm trying to use the FIND(find_text,within_text,start_num) in
combination with RIGHT(text,num_chars) but i cannot seem to sort it out
so as to come to the desired result!
Can any1 help?
