With only 10 minutes remaining, the visitors went ahead against the run of play, it has to be said – also through an o.g. – and then scored a third – in the 87th minute to advance to the next round.

Atletico Malahide v VEC FC
Only introduced late in the game, Brian O’Reilly scored the winning goal in the 90th minute to seal all 3 premier division points for VEC out in Malahide. Twice Atletico Malahide drew level precisely 20 minutes after VEC had scored – firstly in the 15th minute through Pat Meghen and secondly in the 36th minute through Jim McGauran. But Brian’s late goal ensured victory for VEC on a 3-2 scoreline.

Sandford St. Mary’s then went ahead in the 52nd minute, but Jamie Ryder’s sweetly struck shot from a great Conor Daly cross, made it 2-2 in the 70th minute and so it remained despite constant pressure from VEC until the finish.
