BUNCRANA Hearts are into the sixth round of the FAI Junior Cup thanks to a fine away win today.
Rosemount Mulvey 0 Buncrana Hearts 1
Calvin Gallagher’s 86th minute winner gave Buncrana the win at Rosemount Mulvey in Dublin.
Just four minutes from the end, Gallagher pounced to give Stephen McNutt’s team the edge and book a place in the last 32.
Gallagher, on as a substitute, fired home the only goal of the game as Buncrana sealed their place in the sixth round draw. From a set-piece on the left-hand side, Gallagher connected to flick home and squeeze Buncrana past the Dubliners.
Extra time was looming at Rosemount Park when the breakthrough arrived and Buncrana now face Killarney Celtic in the last 32.
Tomorrow, Greencastle FC host the reigning Junior Cup holders St Michael’s in a last 32 clash at Chapel Lane while Kildrum Tigers are on the road to Oliver Bond Celtic in Dublin, also in the last 32.
