Cockhill Celtic will have a last 16 tie at home to Kilnamanagh of Dublin in the new year as they posted a fine win on the road against Midleton FC in Cork this afternoon.
Midleton FC 1-2 Cockhill Celtic
With the previous meeting in Inishowen having finished 1-1, Cockhill had a mountain to climb on the long journey south but will be delighted to have booked their progression.
Laurence Toland opened the scoring for the side managed by Gavin Cullen on 15 minutes and Stephen Duffy made it two 11 minutes from the end in a contest where both teams had a man sent off – Cockhill’s Lee McColgan saw red -before Midleton grabbed a late goal.
