U12 | Bellurgan and Ardee to contest final

United see off Bay while Deesiders edge past Glenmuir

Ardee Celtic and Bellurgan United will contest this season’s U12 Dundalk FC Cup final following wins over Glenmuir United and Bay United on Sunday morning.

Ardee were one-nil winners over Glenmuir United in a tight but exciting game that was settled by a first half goal from James Maguire.

A gallant Glenmuir side battled bravely in search of an equaliser with Steven Okeke going close on several occasions but Ardee’s well organised defence of Oisin Roe, Nathan Commins and James Sands were outstanding throughout the game.

Jack Mullen almost snatched a last minute equaliser for the Dundalk side but he was denied by a brilliant save from the impressive Ardee goalkeeper Andrew Wogan.

GLENMUIR UNITED: Conor Weir, Motos Luko, Fionn Connolly, Daniel Brogan, Dara McGeough, Robert Kilgallen, Liam O’Connor, Jack Mullen, James Haughey, Steven Okeke, Ryan McEneaney, Tony McDonnell, Alan Jumbo Glynn.

ARDEE CELTIC: Andrew Wogan, Oisin Roe, Tom Kelly, Nathan Commins, Jake Corrigan, James Maguire, Oisin Dowdall, Shane Carpenter, Darragh Roe, Sean Gallagher, Tadgh McDonnell, Liam Myles, James Sands.

REFEREE: Eoin Quigley.

Bellurgan United 5–0 Bay United

In the other semi-final Bellurgan United were comfortable 5–0 winners over Bay United with two goals each for Thomas McCaragher and James Sharkey and one from Cormac Mallon.

Thomas McCaragher’s second goal was another brilliant strike and a contender for goal of the season.

This Bellurgan team has hit top form at the right time of the season and it sets it up nicely for what should be a cracking cup final on Sunday, May 14th at Bellew Park. Kick-off is at 11am.
