A NEWE MAN! Challenge Cup Last 16 Result Oldbury

A NEWE MAN!
Challenge Cup Last 16 Result
Oldbury 1-3 VEC (aet)

Rob Newe marked his return from injury with a dramatic 93rd minute equaliser to save VEC from a shock cup exit at the hands of a spirited Oldbury side on Friday evening in Tallaght.
The game had opened at breakneck speed with the VEC's strong midfield core of Jack Nolan, Jordan Howard and Seamus Staunton creating openings well with Oisin Kinsella rampaging up and down the left wing and seemingly getting in behind the Oldbury defence at will. But VEC could not find a killer touch and in fact it was the industrious Oldbury side who had the 2 best chances of the half seeing a volley inch past the post and a shot from 18 yards pushed around the same post by VEC keeper Richie Hannify.
0-0 HT
The 2nd half commenced with both sides feeling they were very much in the game. A bobbly pitch limited the silky interchanges of the VEC midfield and facilitated some poor touches and panicky moments in both defences. As the half progressed however, the home side got to grips with the conditions, implementing some excellent direct football and threatening the VEC goal with some wicked set pieces during a dominant 15 minute spell. This spell culminated in a penalty award for an "arm tug" in the area which was dispatched with aplomb by Oldbury's number 10.
The visiting cup holders VEC were left with 15 minutes to salvage the game and following wave after wave of pressure it was that man Newe who rifled home low and hard from 20 yards with the last kick of the game to send the teams into extra time.
FT1-1
With Oldbury a man down due to 2 yellow cards for their goal scorer, it was backs to the wall stuff as VEC went in search of the win but it took 12 minutes of ET to break down the resilient Oldbury side. Jordan Howard's delivery was palmed into the path of onrushing CB Neal Breslin who reacted impressively to smash home a header and give VEC the lead they had worked so hard for! Calum Gallagher sealed the deal for VEC with an emphatic finish and his first goal for the club to boot!
A classic cup tie won and VEC march on to the quarters where a tough away fixture at Div 2 side Dunshaughlin Youths awaits!
