St Vincent’s ease into quarter-finals

Despite conceding a sloppy goal just before the half-time whistle, St Vincent’s still had enough scoring power to see off gritty Glenville in this fourth-round contest at Riverstown on Saturday to set up a quarter-final clash with either Ballingeary or Naomh Abán.

It was far from an impressive show from Vincent’s though, often overplaying the ball in their own half. Yet they were always that bit sharper and smarter on the ball than Glenville, who were thankful for two brilliant second-half saves by goalkeeper Kieran Cronin to deny both David O’Connor and Anthony Buckley certain goals.

And Glenville were also fortunate to see Cian Barry put his shot over the bar in the first-half with the goal at his mercy.
