VEC Advance to Next Round

With a well-executed high press two minutes after the re-start, Paddy Cook won the ball back after aggressively closing down Dublin Hospitals FC’s goalkeeper’s space, cutting off his passing lanes and forcing him into the mistake that lead to the only goal of this cup match. This was a closely contested game, with the sides scoreless at the break: however, Paddy’s opportunist goal – his first of the season – ensured that we advanced to the 3rd Round of the FAI Junior Cup – away to St. Francis FC.
