FAI JUNIOR CUP: STRAND CELTIC 4 MANORHAMILTON RANGERS 1
Strandhill Community Park
Our senior team avenged a recent league defeat to manorhamilton rangers on Sunday morning last in this FAI cup clash in strandhill community park.
Manorhamilton Rangers had advanced to the last eight of the countries premier competition last season and were hoping for another good run this year.
Strand Celtic took an early lead through a goal from the experienced Marcel Gordon, who has been in fine goalscoring form of late. In difficult and windy conditions it was always going to be a frenetic game. Strand grabbed two more through Dean Deering and Stuart Rutherford before Manor claimed one. With manorhamilton pressing hard Brian McMorrow added the fourth goal with ten minutes left to seal victory.
The team now advance to the national stages and will await the draw with interest. |
