Carnonagh FC U-17s progress to last 16 in SFAI Cup at expense of Cork's Bandon AFC
The visitors had started the brightest at St Patrick's Park on Saturday but Carndonagh soon settled and ran out deserving 3-1 winners in the end to set up a last-eight with Dublin's Belvedere
Carndonagh FC U-17s had too much for Cork’s Bandon AFC on Saturday as a 3-1 win in St Patrick’s Park secured their spot in the quarter-finals of the SFAI Cup.
A minute’s silence was held just prior to kick-off in memory of Tiernan Doherty Kelly. And once the action got underway, the visitors were in front inside the opening minute.
However, Carndonagh pulled two back before the break, thanks to Olly Coyle and Shay McDaid to go in 2-1 at half-time.
Tiernan Cantell rounded off a fine afternoon for Carn in the second-half and they will now face an away clash against Belvedere in Dublin.
Carndonagh: J O’Brien; A Diver, G Farren, M McLaughlin, D O’Callaghan; K McLaughlin, T Diver, E Donaghy, T Cantwell, S McDid, O Coyle.
Subs: O McLaughlin, M McDaid, K Greenwood, R McCandless, R McLaughlin.
