Lynch’s winner secures treble for Cork C of I

Cork Church of Ireland completed a domestic treble as Richard Lynch’s extra-time strike sealed a 3-2 Munster Senior Cup final victory over UCC at Garryduff yesterday.

Having come from 3-1 down with four minutes remaining to see off the students in December’s Peard Cup final and then held them off to win the league, this victory meant more heartbreak for Neil Welch’s side.

As in previous games, they played largely on the break and off long balls, but it was C of I who broke the deadlock from their first short corner, slung home by John Jermyn.
