Cork facing danger from old foe Crowe

Two-time winner of the FAI Ford Cup, former Ireland international Glen Crowe, will be the standout player in the St Mochta’s line-up when they visit Turner’s Cross tonight for an FAI Ford Cup second-round tie against Cork City (kick-off 7.45pm).

Since hanging up his League of Ireland boots in 2011, the 36-year-old has continued to bang in the goals on the junior circuit, with 32 collected already for club where he began his career, which took him on to Wolves and, most successfully, back to Ireland for league-winning campaigns with Bohemians and Shelbourne.

The Blanchardstown side, who only last week sealed their second successive promotion in the Leinster Senior League, have other league stalwarts in their ranks in the shape of Paul McNally and Rocko Reilly.
