TSDL Tipperary Cup 1st Round Cahir Park B 1-3 Peake Villa Junior B
Scorers: Sean Butler (1) Mark Lennon (1) Darragh Byrne (1)
Villa travelled to Cahir on a wet and blustery day on a poor pitch missing a number of regulars for various reasons but started positively and the front foot and dominated possession from the start with Dale Loughnane and Jordan Fahy on his first junior start going close early on. Villa were dominating midfield through Stevie Fewer and Sean Butler and up-front Eoin Dwyer was causing all sorts of problems for the home defence with his dominance in the air. On 19 minutes Villa got the break through when a good pass from Kevin Croke found Sean Butler on edge of box and he found the bottom corner with a good finish, Villa 1-0. After several corners from Villa, one taken by Mark Lennon had the ball cleared to Stevie Fewer who returned it to the Cahir box where Mark Lennon was on hand to dispatch the ball to the net on his weaker right foot to put villa 2-0 up after 29 minutes. Villa continued to dominate possession with the villa central defence of Cormac Lanigan and Kevin Croke coping with any attacks from the home side. The last 5 minutes of half the home side applied a little pressure and Villa defended a couple of efforts with a save from Shane McGuire and goal-line clearance from Cormac Lanigan, Half time 2-0.
In the 2nd half it became very scrappy with home side more in the game and Shane McGuire in villa goal made some great saves while at other end Villa went close again through Dale Loughnane and Darragh Byrne With 5 minutes left the home team got one back after a scramble in the Villa box. Villa responded straight from kick off after good work from Davy Carroll released Dale Loughnane who beat him man and found Darragh Byrne at edge of box and he drilled it home to bottom corner to make it 3-1 at full time and Villa through to next round. Best on the day for villa were Shane McGuire, Cormac Lanigan, Dale Loughnane, Eoin Dwyer and man of the match Sean Butler.
