Rob Newe atoned for an early chance, when, in the 14th minute, he deftly flicked the ball to the net for his first goal of the season and VEC’s first in this cup match. Unfortunately, the lead only lasted 10 minutes before the home team equalised to leave the teams level at the break. Then, 3 minutes after the re-start, a defensive error allowed Glasnaoin’s Andy Hedderman to put them ahead.
There was plenty of drama to follow, when firstly Colin Power made it 2-2 in the 90th minute with a sweet strike from 20yds – his first goal for the Club – and just as the game looked like going into extra time, the home team scored from a corner kick with virtually the last kick of the game, sadly knocking us out of this season’s Challenge Cup.
