Glynn’s Mervue secure Tribe’s bragging rights

Pat Hoban and Etanda Nkololo fired Mervue United into the third round of the FAI Cup and ensured the derby honours rested with Johnny Glynn’s side at Eamonn Deacy Park.

After a scoreless first-half in front of just 228 spectators, Mervue United finally broke the deadlock when Hoban got his head to a pinpoint cross from Shane Keogh in the 59th minute.

And three minutes from time former Devon winger Nkololo made sure of the win with a crisp finish.
