VEC FC 2nds got off to a flying start when Paddy Cook shot us into the lead inside five minutes, then Jamie Ryder blasted home a free kick on 10 minutes to double our advantage against Fairview Celtic on the Clontarf Astro in Division 2A.But that’s as good as it got for VEC FC as the home side knuckled down and were back on level terms on 30 minutes when they were awarded a penalty that Declan Fitzsimons, who bagged himself a hat-trick, slotted home, as Fairview went on to win 5-2.
