Spartak 2 Liffey Valley 5
The Sky Blues met more than their match against a strong Liffey Valley side who lost no time in taking an early lead on 5 minutes when a Dave Browne clearing header was volleyed in. Spartak attacked and had shots blocked by McGowan and Walsh.
But on 36 minutes the visitors added number 2 and then almost immediately Aodhan McCahill conceded a penalty; however Jason Northey came to the rescue with a save.
Things went from bad to worse however and Liffey soon added to their total to lead 5-0; a humiliation was on the cards but some consolation was gained when Conor Maguire dispossessed a defender to go through and score, and then Derek Ruxton scored with a fine header from Steve Walsh’s corner.
A dismal display defensively.
