Cockhill Celtic 7 v 1 Ayrfield United
Cockhill Celtic are through to the Second Round of the FAI Cup after a dominant win against Ayrfield United of Dublin this afternoon.
Cockhill had home advantage in this tie and used it to full effect, and got the perfect start as Luke Rudden headed home in the sixth minute.
Lee McColgan added Cockhill’s second in the 18th minute, and the Donegal men would maintain that advantage until the end of the first half.
Once the game reached the hour mark the floodgates opened, a second goal of the match for Luke Rudden and a strike from Jack Mullan doubling Cockhill’s advantage.
Ayrfield slotted home their only goal from the penalty spot, but in the last five minutes of the tie Cockhill established their dominance again.
A quick-fire brace from Jay Bradley and a score from Adam Duffy finished off the rout, as Cockhill now advance to the Second Round of the FAI Cup.
