Tralee Celtic just about fancied to win derby replay against Mitchels Avenue
DENNY PREMIER B FINAL REPLAY
Tralee Celtic v Mitchels Avenue Sunday, June 3 Mounthawk Park, 1.30pm
THERE are two league final replays down for decision at Mounthawk Park next Sunday and the likelihood of extra-time and penalty shoot outs are a distinct possibility.
After a disappointing Premier B Final where Mitchels Avenue and Tralee Celtic ended 1-1 everyone will be hoping for a better game on this eagerly awaited replay.
The drawn game fell short of expectations and Tralee Celtic will be kicking themselves that they did not win as they squandered a lot of good scoring opportunities including a penalty.
Mitchels Avenue know they were lucky to take the game to a replay and they will be hoping for a better performance on this occasion.
Tralee Celtic are bidding for their fifth consecutive League title coming all the way up from Division 2B to Premier B in five seasons, which is a remarkable achievement.
Based on the evidence of the drawn game Tralee Celtic will go into the game as favourites, but Mitchels Avenue know they did not do themselves justice in the drawn game and will be very anxious to play to their full potential on this occasion.
It should be another very tight game that may require extra time or penalties to decide.
An early goal in this game could turn it into for a real cracker.
It is a very difficult game to call, but Tralee Celtic may edge it if they play up to scratch.
