Big away win keeps Cahir Park in the hunt in Tipperary Premier League

Clonmel Credit Union Premier League

Tipperary Town 0 – 3 Cahir Park

Cahir Park continued to stay in touch at the top end of the Premier League table with a good win away to Tipperary Town on Sunday last. Both teams started well and some good football was played with chances at both ends.

Vinny Godfrey came closest to opening the score for the hosts, before the visitors struck in the 15th minute, when Willie Dunne reacted quickest after the ball bounced around the six yard box, to poke home. They doubled their lead ten minutes later with Dunne again on target with a great header from close range after the home side had squandered a couple of good chances, leaving the Park two goals to the good at the break.

The tie followed a similar pattern in the second period with both teams playing good football, but again it was the visitors that had a little more cutting edge when a great free kick from former Clonmel Town and St Michael’s player John O’Brien gave the goalkeeper no chance to put Cahir three up just after the hour mark.

The game out of sight for the home team but they never gave up and the game was a lively contest for the remaining 30 minutes, before Cahir Park took the win.
