Brian Coakley awesome as clinical Carrigaline cruise past St Vincent’s

Carrigaline 1-10 St Vincent’s 0-8: For the first 17 minutes of Saturday’s Premier IFC quarter-final, referee Michael Collins wasn’t even tempted to blow his whistle for a foul.

Refreshing it may have been but it said plenty about the polite manner in which St Vincent’s submitted to Carrigaline’s superiority.

From the throw-in, Cian Barry dashed untouched through the heart of Vincent’s defence and was only denied by a superb Paddy O’Shea stop. It was the first of 13 scoring attempts by Carrigaline in that free-flowing spell.
