Spartak 4, Firhouse 18s 0.
The scoreline belies the reality. Spartak led by a lucky goal at half time when Derek McGoldrick’s cross/shot? drifted to the net.
Firhouse dominated the midfield, even the aerial battles, and apart from the goal Spartak’s only chance came from a though ball by Steve O’Hara which Ross Kelly miscued. From a Spartak point of view , it was a disjointed first half, which saw Firhouse retain possession with ease.
Numerous substitutions for the Sky Blues at half time improved the quality somewhat, and certainly lifted the tempo from soporific, although Firhouse will rue their lack of finishing power, missing a few gilt edged chances.
Steve Walsh combined with Conor Maguire and drilled home; Colum O’Sullivan knocked in crosses from Conor Maguire and Stu Love to add to the scoreline.
The Sky Blues got the goals; the younger lads played the football.
