DRUMKEEN UNITED AND Glencar Celtic will contest the Saturday League Cup final after semi-final wins over Arranmore United and Orchard FC yesterday. Here’s how the action panned out:
The Saturday League Cup
Drumkeen United 4 Arranmore United 1
HAVING lost both League games against the Islanders it was the home team who came out on top in this League Cup Semi Final at St Patrick’s Park on Saturday.
Anthony Browne had an effort for Drumkeen which hit the crossbar and bounced down onto the line and into the arms of a grateful Arranmore goalkeeper.
At the other end Gavin McGlanaghey had a shot which went just wide and so it remained scoreless at the break. Peter Brannigan fired the home team ahead early in the second half.
Gavin Mc Glanaghey is always a goal threat for Arranmore and he equalised shortly afterwards when he got on the end of a ball over the top and finished well past keeper Michael Gibson.
Aaron Doherty got the goal to put Drumkeen ahead when he got a great touch on a cross from the right wing. Browne got the third goal and it was no more than he deserved as his strong runs from midfield had been causing Arranmore problems throughout the game.
Peter McNamee added a fourth goal following a pass from Browne.
Orchard FC 1 Glencar Celtic 2
GLENCAR Celtic defeated Orchard F.C. in the semi-final of the Saturday League Cup.
Two Seany Houston goals saw Glencar come from behind after Micheal Doherty had given the Orchard men the lead at the Flagpole Field. Glencar will now play Drumkeen United in the Saturday League Cup Final on Saturday next at a time and venue to be confirmed.
