FOUR years on, it’s still a decent quiz question. What Mayo goalkeeper scored a hat-trick in an FAI Junior Cup match?
The answer is Ciaran Kelly, who put three past his Carew Park counterpart during Castlebar Celtic’s run to the FAI Junior Cup semi-final in 2006. That campaign ultimately ended in heartbreak against Athenry. But Kelly, who kept goal when Sligo Rovers lost to Sporting Fingal in last year’s FAI Senior Cup final, now finds himself back in the domestic game’s showpiece fixture.
“I can’t wait,” he told The Mayo News last week. “We always hoped we’d be back [in the final] but it’s reality now. If you take the second half of the season, out of 54 points, we’ve got 47, which is league-winning standard. We got off to a slow start, but in July, we got in a few players. We’ve just been playing more mature football this season.”Full article here:
