First-half strike proves difference for Avondale as Cork side lift FAI Intermediate Cup

A fantastic first-half strike from former Cork City striker Mark O’Sullivan proved the difference as Avondale United lifted the FAI Intermediate Cup for the seventh time in 14 years.

The Munster Senior League side endured a barrage of pressure from the Dubliners in the second half, including eight nerve-jangling minutes of injury time, to seal the win.
