Malahide joy as Blarney see red

A strong finish from Malahide United gave them what was, in the end, a comfortable FAI Cup win over nine-man Blarney United at O’Shea Park last night.

Malahide joy as Blarney see red

The visitors were leading 2-1 with five minutes of normal time remaining after former Bohemians and Shelbourne striker Glen Crowe had put them ahead, when Blarney sub Eddie O’Connell was sent off after an incident involving Malahide left-back Alan O’Riordan.

With the hosts having already been reduced to 10 men when defender John Meade was dismissed just before half-time, Malahide made their numerical advantage count to the full as sub Alan Corcoran profited from Crowe’s low cross on 88 minutes.
