Crumlin knock Intermediate Cup specialists Avondale out again

HOLDERS Crumlin United disposed of FAI Intermediate Cup specialists Avondale United for the second time in two seasons after coming away from Avondale Park with a hard fought 2-1 victory after extra-time on Saturday.

With the Cork side going for a record five in-a-row titles last season, they were stopped in their tracks at Pearce Park by a Crumlin outfit who went on to lift the cup at The Aviva Stadium in May.

This time out, Dave Warren’s side would have fancied their chances of getting revenge on home soil after drawing in Dublin before Christmas.
