Munster Junior Cup 2nd Round
Bansha Celtic 0-2 Tipperary Town
Tipp Town took on a very understrength Bansha Celtic team in the Munster Junior
Cup. The first real chance of the game fell to Bansha when the ball broke in the box,
but the shot flew over the bar. Tipp Town took the lead on 20 minutes, when a cross
from Shane Ryan led to indecision in the defence and Ryan Maher slotted home. It
remained 1 nil until the break. Very few chances were created in the 2nd half, but
Tipp Town put the game to bed on 65 minutes, when Caleb Hickey crossed low from
the right for Olek to make it two .Bansha pushed on to try and get back into the game, and Tipp Town had a few chances on the break to increase the lead, but it
remained 2 nil until the end.
Munster Junior Cup 2nd Round
Cashel Town 1-2 St Michael’s
St Michael’s progressed to the next round with a hard-fought win away to a much-
improved Cashel Town. The opening half hour was very tight with not too many
clear-cut chances being created. However, on 30 minutes, Mark O'Keeffe opened
the scoring finishing well after some sloppy defending allowed him the space to finish
from 10 yards. The visitors doubled their lead on 70 minutes with a goal from Sean
Guerins, which came from a defensive mistake. Cashel were reduced to 10 men five
minutes later, but to their credit, they came back into the game, and on 78 minutes,
Ciaran Fitzpatrick scored with a bullet header from a Sean Fitzpatrick cross. On 82
minutes, substitute keeper Adrian Walsh made a great save to deny Adam Hennessy
an equaliser.
Munster Junior Cup 2nd Round
Wilderness Rovers 2-2 Powerstown (Powerstown won on pens)
With these two sides only meeting in the league two weeks ago, it was always going
to be a tight game.
Both sides cancelled each other out early but it was Powerstown who broke the
deadlock on 16 minutes, when, a bit of hesitancy in the Wilderness defence, allowed
Harry O’Connor to pounce and score. With a lot of tough and fair challenges in this
battle it remained this way at half time.
Wilderness came out second half and went straight at Powerstown with everything
they had and from a throw in Michael O’Hara got a flick on for Graham Kelly to score
with a neat backward flick on 59 minutes. On 65 minutes Michael O’Hara again
broke the line down the right and squared it to Joseph Cummins to neatly finish to
put Wilderness 2-1 up.
But just two minutes later Powerstown broke down the right and from a cross John
Lowes scored with a great finish to make it 2-2.
Both sides had a chance, but the Powerstown keeper was in fine form, flicking one
over when he looked beaten.
Both sides had a couple of chances in extra time with Wilderness having a fantastic
chance near the end but somehow the ball stayed out of the net.
Powerstown kept their nerve best when it came to the penalty shoot-out and
advanced to the next stage.
Munster Junior Cup 2nd Round
Galbally United 0-5 Clonmel Celtic
Clonmel Celtic eased their way into the third round when they proved far too strong
for a depleted Galbally side.
The game was over as a contest inside the first 30 minutes, when David Morrissey,
and a brace from Julian Kerton had the away side 3 nil up.
Peter Morrissey went close for the home side on 60 minutes but a brace from Darren
Sweeney was enough to seal the win and ensure a comfortable day’s work for the
away side.
Munster Junior Cup 2nd Round
Two Mile Borris 2-2 Clonmel Town (AET) (5-3) pens
Borris and Town met for the second Sunday in a row in the 2nd round of the Munster
Junior Cup in Newhill Park and Borris advanced to the next round after a hard-fought
win. Borris started well and had a lot of possession and a number of good chances
early on. Clonmel Town got more into the game as the half wore on and came close
a few times. On the stroke of half time Borris went in front when Tom Ryan headed a
Jamie Lee free kick powerfully to the back of the Clonmel net and Borris went in 1 nil
up at the break. The 2nd half went much the same way with Borris having a lot of the
ball but there were few chances at either end. Clonmel equalised in the 65th minute
when a long ball was crossed from the left for the inrushing centre forward to tap
home. Borris put a lot of pressure on the Town defence after this but couldn’t break
through and the tie went to extra time. Clonmel Town went 2-1 up on the stroke of
half time with a well taken goal from Ian Cleary and the pressure was now on a
youthful Borris side. Borris fought back and came close a few times before Louis
Coughlan rose highest to head home a Jamie Lee corner with two minutes to go and
the tie went to penalties where Borris scored all five to move into the 3rd round.
Munster Junior Shield 1st Round 15-09-24
Donohill & District 3-2 Burncourt Celtic
In a close first round of the Munster Shield at Donohills grounds, Donohill FC edged
out Burncourt Celtic with a narrow 3-2 victory. The match showcased a blend of skill,
determination, and drama.
Donohill FC lined up with Darragh Mooney in goal, with a defensive line comprising
Thomas Lynch, Patrick Barry, Alan Wallace, and Phil McGrath. The midfield was
anchored by Alan O'Dwyer and Noel O'Brien, flanked by Sean Ryan and Jamie
Tierney. Up front, the attacking duo consisted of Joe Shanahan and Alan Shanahan,
both pivotal in the team's offensive strategy.
The first half saw an intense battle for control, with both teams creating opportunities.
Donohill FC struck first in the 20th minute when Alan Shanahan found the back of
the net, giving the home side a 1-0 lead. However, Burncourt Celtic responded
quickly, Cian O'Reilly equalising just five minutes later in the 25th minute,
showcasing their resilience and determination to stay in the contest.
In a pivotal moment just before half-time, Burncourt Celtic player Cahal English
received a red card for a second yellow, leaving them a man down and forcing them
to adjust their strategy. This incident shifted the momentum in favour of Donohill FC
as they entered the break with renewed confidence.
The second half began with Donohill FC looking to capitalise on their numerical
advantage. Their efforts paid off in the 70th minute when Joe Shanahan converted a
penalty, restoring Donohill's lead at 2-1. However, Burncourt Celtic refused to back
down, and in the 77th minute, they equalised again, Cian O'Riely from close range
making it 2-2 and setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
With the clock ticking down, Donohill FC pressed forward in search of a winner. Their
persistence was rewarded in the 84th minute when Joe Shanahan scored his second
goal of the match, converting another penalty to put Donohill FC ahead 3-2. The
home side held on to their lead in the closing moments, securing a hard-fought
victory.
Munster Junior Shield 1st Round
St Nicholas 6-1 Ballymackey
A blistering start from St Nicholas laid the foundation for what turned out to be a very
comfortable day for the hosts.

made it two. It was three when Dylan Swords scored in the 28 th minute to secure the
tie.

Munster Junior Shield 1st Round
Shinrone United B 0-5 Ballingarry
Ballingarry made the trip to North Tipp outfit Shinrone United B. Ballingarry started
much the better and were unlucky not to be ahead after 5 minutes when Eoin Burke
was put through on goal by Ricky Cashin but he saw his shot well saved by the
onrushing keeper. A couple of half chances later and Ballingarry found the opener
when a timely through ball by Ricky Cashin found the run of Jamie Walsh who
finished well past the keeper who got a hand to the shot but couldn’t keep it out.
Ballingarry quickly doubled their lead in the 20th minute when Jonothan Ivors was
sent through on goal and after his shot was well saved, Eddie Mullaly followed in the
rebound to tap into an empty net. John Pollard then went close from an Eddie
Mullaly corner in the 34th minute before the two combined again from another corner
but this time Pollard found the net with a good header.
The second half was much of the same with the away side dominating possession
and creating plenty of chances. Eddie Mullaly grabbed his second and Ballingarry’s
fourth after a great ball by Keith Cleere found Jamie Walsh and after his shot was
blocked, Mullaly followed in and tapped home again from close range. And
Ballingarry rounded off the scoring with 5 minutes to go when Stephen Holohan beat
the keeper from 30 yards out with a fantastic strike to the top corner.
Munster Junior Shield 2nd Round
Suirside 3-2 Moyglass Utd
Suirside welcomed fellow TS&DL Division 2 side Moyglass to Grange for a Round 2
tie in the Munster Junior Shield on Sunday afternoon last.
This was an incredibly competitive game all afternoon with very little between the
sides throughout.
From the start both sides committed to playing through midfield only to be thwarted
by defences that seemed to always be on top.
Suirside fashioned the first effort on 12 minutes with Simon Farrell denied by the
base of the post and a Tom Keating effort driven over after 16 minutes.
Moyglass worked the ball well down the left side and a cut back to Gus Brown whose
shot drifted narrowly wide on 19. Then came the opening goal of the game.
A mix up in midfield saw Suirside’s Darragh Cronin pounce on a loose pass and beat
the last defender to shoot powerfully to the net on 22 minutes. Moyglass reacted
immediately with Jack Healy firing over the top. Suirside then began a period of
dominance and were unlucky not to add to their tally as half time approached.
Instead, a mix up between Centre Half and Keeper saw the very alert Jack Healy nip
in and prod the equaliser on 42 minutes to see both sides level at the break.
The second half saw Suirside start the better and Tom Keating with a very smart
finished restored the lead for the home side on 49 minutes. Suirside went hunting for
a third and the best effort by Tommy McDonagh brilliantly tipped over by an agile and
back peddling Moyglass keeper. The away side weathered the storm and took their
turn to probe the home team’s goal with again the post denying a powerful effort that
that the keeper beaten all ends up on 72 minutes. The away side continued to try
and find an equaliser but a sweeping counter by Suirside down the right hand side
saw Gavin Sheehan pick out John Darmody at the back post on 81 minutes to make
the scoreline 3 – 1.
Moyglass continued to press, as they had all afternoon and a missed header in the
centre of the home defence saw Gus Brown get the very least he deserved on the
day with a first time effort from all of 25 meters that found the top corner on 92
minutes to cut the deficit to a single goal, but there was little or no time left for
anymore and Suirside ran out the eventual 3 – 2 winners. Their reward a tie in
Round 3, away to the winners of the Round 2 fixture to be played in the coming
weeks between St. Nicholas of the TS&DL and The NTDL’s Sallypark Odhrans from
Borrisileigh.

3rd Division Match Reports 15-09-24
Clonmel Celtic 5-2 Kilsheelan United

In the early stages it was an even affair until the away side took the lead on 12
minutes when the ball broke in the box and Daniel Condon slotted home.

saw Jack Aylward through and he slotted home for the equaliser.
Celtic were pushing at this stage and on 34 minutes the ball broke to Jack Boland
and he fired home from 25 yards out to give Celtic the lead.

TSDL League Division 3
Tipperary Town B 2-6 Mullinahone
Tipp Town, in their first home game against early league favourites for the league,
Mullinahone, got off to the perfect start when good exchanges with Andrew Wade
and Jamie Ryan saw Dean Moore cooly slot home the opener. Tipp B found a
weapon in Sean Kiely’s giant throws, when Dylan Moore, Andrew Wade and Eoin
Gallagher all came close and Tipp should have been 3 – 0 up in the first 20 minutes.
Mullinahone then broke against the run of play and Liam Hicks made it 1-1. Tipp
heads never dropped and again another throw and Andrew Wades header was just
over. Five minutes before half time Ryhen Hicks scored a superb volley and put the
away side 2-1 up at the break. Second half and Tipp B shuffled the defence and on
came Aaron Toomey for the injured Ryan Hehir. Tipp B were again bright and quick
out of the blocks and Dylan Moore took his chance very calmly to level the game at
2-2. Mullinahone always provided good runners on the ball, and there 3rd was a
superb solo run and curler from 25 yards from Johnny Lawlor. Tipp B pushed and
probed, and Aaron Toomey rattled the post and within seconds had claims for a
penalty turned away. Mullinahone added a lovely counter goal and Rhyen Hicks 2nd
for 4-2. Tipp B never gave up but two more late goals by hat-trick hero Rhyen Hicks
and a 6th from John O’Connell put a flattering end to proceedings for Mullinahone.

Town side in Ferryhouse.
After an even opening twenty minutes two defensive errors allowed Charlie Walsh to
capitalise and Borris went in 2-0 at the break.

Youth Division 1
Clonmel Celtic 8-0 Peake Villa
Clonmel Celtic Youths gave early notice of their intent this season with an 8-0
demolition job of Peake Villa yesterday in their first league game of the season. This
was an impressive performance from Celtic who had Villa on the backfoot all
afternoon. Celtic played some lovely football but had to wait until the 22nd minute for
the lead when the lively Jack Aylward fired low to the corner. They doubled their lead
on 30 minutes when Cillian Fitzgerald swept the ball home when it broke to him in
the box. Celtic took the 2-0 lead to the break. There was no let up for Villa in the
second half and Jack Aylward completed his hat trick by the hour mark although he
was fortunate with a lucky richochet for his second. Celtic were in total control at this
stage and added four more with goals from David Wall and Brandon Tracey and
clever finishes from Dylan McCormack and Luke Hannigan.

Youth Division 2
Two Mile Borris B 3-2 Shanbally United
Borris youths B hosted Shanbally in their first league game of the season at a windy
Newhill Park. Borris took the lead in the first half when a high ball eventually fell to
Conor who struck one home for Borris. Not long after Shanbally equalised. The
Shanbally 9 went through on goal and tucked one home for the away side. However,
this goal didn’t take much momentum away from Borris as they continued to play the
better football and had the larger share of possession. Borris made use of this
possession before halftime struck when Eoin cut inside and wrapped one into the top
corner to give Borris a 2-1 lead before the break.
Borris were unable to play the same football in the second half as a strong wind was
against them. Shanbally started to put heavy pressure on the Borris defence, and
eventually, their hard work paid off as a long ball forward saw the Shanbally 9 once
again go through and have a nice finish to equalise. The away side continued to pile
on the pressure and looked the better side in the second half. A Borris corner in the
last kick of them game saw Luke header stopped by a good save from the Shanbally
keeper but the rebound fell for Luke to tap one in to see Borris take the lead in the
last minute of the game.
Full-time Borris 3-2 Shanbally
Youth Division 2
Cashel Town 0-2 SC&K
A game played in difficult conditions with a very strong wind saw the visitors take all
three points. Cashel playing with the wind in the first half failed to take advantage of
it and paid the price on 43 minutes when Brandon Landers scored from close range.
SC&K doubled their lead on 70 minutes with a goal from Sean Hughes who finished
well from 10 yards after a great cross from the right. Tey as they might, Cashel
couldn’t find a goal to give them hope and, in the end, SC&K were full value for their
win.
Youth Division 2
St Michael’s 1-1 Cahir Park B
The next generation in the St Michaels dynasty made their debuts yesterday at the
Complex pitch. Early exchanges were largely even with both sides trying to gain
supremacy and Cillian Fitzgerald in the Saints goal did well to turn an in-swinging
corner over the crossbar. Darragh Bresnan saw his goal bound effort on 14 minutes
blocked by a defender. Callum Sheehy didnt connect with a shot on 17 minutes, and
it went easily to Evan Cotter in the Cahir goal. A Darragh Bresnan shot on the half
hour was again held by Cotter. Saints took the lead on 32 minutes when Darragh
Bresnan scored from the penalty spot. Cahir centre forward David Halpin showed
good skill on the right wing on 38 minutes sending in a dangerous cross into the
Saint’s area. Shortly after, John Regan saw his shot from the left angle saved by
Cillian Fitzgerald. Cahir Park equated matters on 41 minutes when the ball broke to
Cillian Carrigan who saw his shot from 20 yards deflected to the net.
Cathal Maguire did well on 47 minutes to get in a block tackle in the area on a Cahir
attacker. Alfie OHalloran also got in a few timely tackles in a solid Saint’s rearguard.
Darragh Bresnan went close on 52 minutes from a good cross from Donagh
Guilfoyle. Aaron Brazil was a lovely second half introduction for Saints and he was
unlucky on 71 minutes to see his shot hit the post and go across the goal. Saints had
the better of the last quarter territorially but couldnt get the winning score, so it was a
point a piece at the complex. Huge credit to Eamonn O Dwyer and Patrick Swords on
their first outing for Saints and we look forward to seeing their fortunes over the
coming weeks.
