O’Sullivan on the mark as Avondale tame Tigers

FAI Intermediate Cup winners Avondale United progressed to the third round proper of the FAI Cup thanks to a 3-1 win over Kildrum Tigers in Donegal yesterday.

The side, under the stewardship of player-manager John Cotter, travelled to Station Road in St Johnston with just 12 players but still had far too much for their Ulster Senior League opponents.

Former Cork City striker Mark O’Sullivan scored twice, while Conor Meade was also on the mark. Cormac Carlin curled home a well-taken free-kick for the hosts but it was merely consolation.
