Troy Parrott takes another assured step to stardom

The Aviva wasn't exactly the place to be tonight but it's no stretch to say that most of those fans who made the effort would have had a debut goal for a much-hyped wunderkind near the top of their list of wants and needs.

They got it. Callum McCowatt has been making a name for himself in New Zealand and the Wellington Phoenix striker took his chance when it arose just after the half-hour here. Another box ticked for the 20-year old who has already had trials in Europe.
