Avondale started well and were well worth their lead on 25 minutes, ball into the box and was pinging about before Marky Sull put it in.
Dale broke a few minutes later with the ball again falling to Marky Sull but he waited too long and allowed the keeper close him down.
Just on the stroke of half time a lovely through ball to Karl Caulfield, he just got a toe before the keeper took him out, penalty, Marky Sull despatched it.

Dale weathered the Crumlin storm well in the second half and were dare I say comfortable going into the final stages, then a long ball out of defence, Marky Sull jumped with the centre half, who went down and while he did catch him, it wasn't intentional.
I think both sides were stunned by the straight red, none more than Marky who now misses the final.

Bar the sending off there were no real stoppages in the game but the local ref proceeded to add 8 minutes on at the end, it was like he was waiting for Crumlin to score, which they did after about 6 of these. I was sure he'd blow at the kick off but he gave them one more chance but thankfully it came to nothing.
Great win soured by the loss of Marky Sull for the final at Turners Cross on May 8th.

This is really really tough on Marky Sull - has been very influential for Avondale on the way to the final. Fair play to Avondale, great way to get to the final and after a tough run away from home along the way.
Well done!

Reading papers Monday night and again last night. Taken back by Damian O Connell and John Cotter view that Mark O Sullivan is the best player in the country at this level. I usually get to at least 2 games a weekend,most of which would include the top 4 or 5. I must be looking at a different Marky Sull. I have great time for him as a player but the best player in the country ???? Not so sure. ps. Great result in Dublin by Dale.

I could have sworn I saw a compliment in there somewhere
As for Marky Sull, an exceptional talent but we've been through all the best players in the MSL and its matter of pure opinion.

It's a shame marky sull won't be taking part in the final, has been probably avondale's most important player in the competition up-to-date. Absolutely fantastic result for avondale, and hopefully they can win the final and bring the intermediate cup back to Cork where it belongs
