Glen Celtic 1 Wicklow Rovers 1 (wicklow won 7-6 on pens)
Great game of football down the glen yesterday. Glen came out flying and went 1 up early on through Mark Nolans stunning free kick. In fairness Wicklow came back into it straight away and had a few good chances to level matters but did not equalise till a mistake by the Glen keeper midway through the 2nd half put them back in the game. Glen made a few tactical changes and seemed to have the better of the chances for the remainder of the game with John Corcoran nearly clinching it in the 2nd period of extra time.
Must give a lot of credit to the Wicklow defence as they kept Corcoran and Barry o Donovan under wraps for most of the game which was not easy. And a mention for the Wicklow no 9 who looked a class act with his all round game.
It was a great experience for all involved who i must say looked after the Wicklow crowd very well overall and fed them before they departed with best of wishes to them in the last 32.
This is a very young Glen team and i have no doubt if they keep this team together for the next few years they can achieve an awful lot.:ball:
