Quay have eye on silverware

between the teams, and Trim seeing it as a good omen that they prevailed at the venue earlier in the season.

The real action in the tie on Friday night at Clancy Park was in the first-half, which finished with Quay leading 3-2 with each of their goals worthy of contending for Goal of the Season and Trim’s brace were also of high calibre.

Andrew Duffy started the ball rolling with a cracking free-kick from 25 yards that put the home side ahead after ten minutes.

It was level pegging ten minutes later with Trim scoring with a volley from the edge of the box, but another ten minutes later Quay went back in front. This time Colin Finan latched onto a clearance and hit a screamer of a volley to the far corner of the net from 25 yards.

Duffy notched his second of the game with another terrific strike receiving the ball back from a short corner and whipped it into the far corner from 35 yards after 40 minutes

However, Trim refused to lie down and on the stroke of the half time whistle reduced the deficit to the minimum with another volley from 20 yards.

The exchanges were even in the second-half before the goal that settled the outcome arrived five minutes from time.

With Trim committing players to attack in search of an equaliser, Quay struck on the break for Niall McLaughlin to put substitute Denis Cholach through to score. QUAY: John Rogers, Sean Hand, Stefan McKevitt, Gary Shevlin, David Redmond, Drew Duffy, Johnny Winters (Denis Cholach 70), Niall McLaughlin, Eanna McArdle, Colin Finan (Adam McKenna 65), Vinny Smith.
