Avondale determined to do it for suspended Dec

When Avondale United manager John Cotter delivers his team talk before Sunday’s FAI Intermediate Cup final, a special mention will be reserved for Declan Cahill.

The defender will miss out on the game against Bluebell United at Richmond Park after picking up a second yellow in the last minute of their semi-final win over Leixlip United. It was cruel luck for one of the side’s most consistent performers and although he won’t tog out, Cotter insists they will keep him involved in the build-up.

“Since he came to us two years ago, he has been unbelievable,” Cotter said.
