City win U21 League - 07 February 2003
Cork City won the eircom U21 League and the Dr. Tony O'Neill perpetual trophy with a glorious goal seconds from the final whistle at Turner's Cross last night.
A captivating final looked set for extra time when Cork's powerful centre-forward, Jamie Nolan produced a stunning volley from 16 yards to give Cork their first win in the competition.
It was a marvellous goal to decide a cracking contest and due reward for the hard-working Nolan who was named "Man of the Match" by former Ireland team manager Eoin Hand and the current manager of the U21 team, Don Givens.
Bohs had jumped in front after 13 minutes when James Bell flicked a header from David Morrison's left-wing free across goalkeeper Mark McNulty and into the far corner.
Cork soon settled and they played some entertaining football as they drew level after 31 minutes. A lovely passing move between Cillian Lordan and Nolan was finished in style by Denis Behan with a shot from just inside the penalty area.
Cork had the better of the second half and Bohs were lucky to survive a penalty appeal after Nolan appeared to have been tripped by Alan Byrne in the 59th minute. But Cork needed a great save from goalkeeper Mark McNulty to deny Jonathan O'Brien a goal in the 82nd minute.
Cork's persistence paid off in style when Nolan ran clear of the defence seconds before the final whistle to ensure the trophy went to Cork with a goal fit to grave any occasion.
Teams:
Cork City: McNulty; Aherne, Andrews, Murray, Roddis; Mulconry, Browne, Lordan, Lougheed; Nolan, Behan.
Bohemians: Duggan; Gannon, Hanley, McGuinness, Tyrell (Barron 63); Morrison, O'Brien, Byrne, Bell; Doyle, Cooney.
Referee: D Deady (Midleton).
