Old County edge past Jobstown

IRELAND’S greatest ever goal scorer Robbie Keane watched on as Old County FC booked their spot in the third round of the FAI Junior Cup after a 2-1 win over Jobstown Celtic.

A bumper crowd of up to 500 people attended the game including Keane who was in attendance in Brickfield to watch his nephew.

An early Old County goal from Eoghan Rowe had been cancelled out by former Liverpool man Glen McAuley, before seven minutes into the second half Zach Furey got the winner to send the Crumlin club into the next round.

Old County started the game on the front foot and went ahead after Callum Keane found Eoghan Rowe inside the Jobstown box, who knocked his finish on the half volley into the top right-hand corner.

In response, Jobstown began to put more pressure on the hosts and that is how they found their equaliser.

A long clearance from County keeper Jamie Cleary only found Lennon Dillon who knocked the ball back up field which eventually fell to Darragh Murphy and his deft backheel set up Glen McAuley to calmly finish past Cleary.

County started the second half in a similar style to their first, and they got their winner on 52 minutes after a well worked throw in allowed Kyle Dunphy to square for Zach Furey who made no mistake with his finish.

The Crumlin club head to Ardmore this weekend in the Leinster Junior Cup, having beaten the Bray side 6-0 in their previous league meeting.

With four wins on the bounce in the league and the victory in Brickfield at the weekend, County will be confident of progression to the next round of the Junior Cup.
