MSL Senior Premier Division

      Avondale 1  UCC  1

The points were shared between Avondale and UCC in this Premier Division game at Avondale Park . Jack Sullivan headed just wide after 2 mins for UCC. Chances were scarce in the first half with shots from distance not causing any keeper concern. The Dale's were the better team in the second half and on 58 mins good play by David O'Leary and Eoin O'Donovan put Simon Falvey in on goal but Scully prouduced a great save for UCC.    The deadlock was broken on 65 mins when a ball played down the right found Richie Tobin who crossed for Eoin O'Donovan who controlled the ball before shooting past Scully  .  Tobin played Falvey in again but once again Scully saved his team. The Dale's normally so good  at seeing out games didn't see this one out and on 85 mins a Dale defender  trying to shield the ball out of play at the end line was outdone by Alex Minihane who nipped ahead of him and pulled the ball back across the goal for Michael Fahy to score and make it 1-1.  The Dale's were disappointed and felt this was a vital 2 points dropped but in truth credit must go to UCC keeper Callan Scully  for his Man of the Match performance and denying the Dale's the win....
