Munster Junior Cup Preliminary Round
Coonagh Utd v Croom Utd, Coonagh, T Duggan........
Coonagh 2 Croom Utd 3
Coonagh made a disappointing exit at the first hurdle in the Munster Junior Cup this morning. They led early on when stand-in captain Kevin Grimes prodded home from a corner that Croom had failed to clear. Coonagh made most of the running early on and could have been two or three up before half time. As has happened too often this season, Coonagh let their opponents back into it though, and Croom equalised before half time with a well taken goal.
Into the second half, Coonagh went in front again with 25 minutes to go when Jason Travis soared high above the keeper to bravely head home a lovely flighted free-kick from Keith Doran ('Dodo'). Still in front with about seven minutes to go, Coonagh should have closed out the game but let in two sloppy goals to tamely exit the competition. The first came from a rebound off a goalkeeping clearance that the Croom forwards closed down, and the second was a scruffy effort from a corner that the tired Coonagh defence failed to deal with correctly ...
