O’Grady out to atone for final heartbreak

HAVING to miss last year’s FAI Ford Cup final through suspension got no better for Conor O’Grady.

The hurt of not being able to play looked like being assuaged for the Sligo Rovers’ captain as his team-mates held a 1-0 lead with six minutes to go at Tallaght Stadium.

It was then that the emotional rollercoaster kicked in. Preparations to celebrate were abruptly ended as Sporting Fingal turned the 2009 final on its head in a dramatic finale.
