Long-inspired Avondale eye history making five-in-a-row

FAI Intermediate Cup: A Roy Long-inspired Avondale United moved to within three games of an historic five FAI Intermediate Cup titles in-a-row after a deserved 3-1 win over College Corinthians in their fourth round clash at Avondale Park on Saturday.

Long put Dave O’Keeffe’s side in front in the 15th minute with a 25 yard strike that flew into the top of Paul Drummond’s net.

In a half that Avondale dominated, Corinthians found themselves level two minutes before the break when Hugh O’Donovan nudged over Peter Moreland in the box and Moreland dispatched his spot kick.
