Blues hit back to oust Avondale
The win, in the first round of the EA Sports League Cup at the RSC last night, came thanks to first-half goals from Paddy Barrett and Shaun Corcoran.
Avondale United shocked the home side when they took the lead on nine minutes, when Dave Warren back-heeled the ball into the path of Graham McCarthy, and he beat keeper Kevin Burns with a neat left-footed finish from 10 yards.
