Away win puts Cahir Park up to second in Tipperary Premier League

Clonmel Credit Union Premier League

Two Mile Borris 0 – 2 Cahir Park

Cahir Park moved up to second place in the TSDL Premier League table with a win away in Newhill Park on Sunday afternoon.

The game was evenly fought, despite the visitors being much more physical than the younger Two-Mile- Borris outfit. Both sides had early chances, and the deadlock was broken in the 20th minute when a John O’Brien cross into the Borris area was met on the volley by Craig Guiry, whose excellent shot fizzed past the motionless home ‘keeper.

After that for the rest of the half the better chances fell to the home team, with Daniel Rafter forcing a good save from the Cahir Park goalie on the hour mark, and a Loran O’Toole header going narrowly wide just before the break.

The second half followed much the same pattern as the latter half of the first, with Cahir Park happy to give up possession and look for opportunities to hit Borris on the break.

Daniel Rafter had a chance to level the game twenty minutes from time but his free kick flew inches the wrong side of the post.

The game was finally decided five minutes from the end when Cahir Park were awarded a penalty kick, and Niall Daly dispatched the ball to the net to ensure they would take home all three points.
