Rearcross
'A' 0 - Borrisoleigh 0
(Rearcross
win 3-2 on penalties AET)
Rearcross 'A' came through this Munster Junior Cup third round game against
Borrisoleigh following a penalty shoot out at Rearcross FC Grounds last Sunday
morning, Rearcross did the early attacking and came close with efforts from
Nigel Ryan and Emmet Steed, Borrisoleigh retaliated and weren't far away a
Noel Kent free kick, a well executed move involving Liam Ryan, Declan O'Toole
and Nigel Ryan saw the latter's effort finished in the visitore's side netting.
Emmet Steed was unlucky to see his effort pull left of the upright in the
22nd minute, Rearcross finished the half strongly with efforts from Declan
O'Toole and Liam Ryan on target, however the visiting keeper was positioned
to gather cleanly.
Rearcross again made a sprightly start to the second half and were denied
five minutes in when Emmet Steed's shot pulled away from the target, Borrisoleigh
responded two minutes later with a well struck effort which was saved by Sean
Sheehy. The Rearcross custodian came to rescue again minutes later with a
reflex save, a hectic finish saw chances falling to both sides with respective
custodians earning their keep, the sides were deadlocked at the end of ninty
minutes and a pretty uneventful extra time period failed to produce a winner.
The home side booked their place in the fourth round following a 3-2 victory
from the penalty shoot out, Kevin Mullins, Diarmuid Sheehy and Sean Mullins
converted for Rearcross while Patrick Ryan and Jody Harkin netted for Borrisoleigh.
Rearcross can now look forward to a fourth round tie away to Desmond League
side Abbeyfeale United.
