Six of the best for Newtown
Charlie O’Leary Cup
Newtown United booked their place in the last 16 of the Charlie O’Leary Cup as they hit Dynamo Dublin for six on Sunday.
The Magpies were frustrated by their opponents for long periods of the first-half, but they eventually made their possession tell when Martin Williams fired them in front ten minutes before the break.
The score remained at 1-0 until Dillon Carthy finally doubled their advantage in the 75th minute, and then the floodgates opened.
A quick-fire double from Dean Odlum put the Wicklow side firmly in control and Mark Fitzsimons and Seán Heffernan added late goals to complete the rout.
There was no joy for Greystones United, however, as they lost out 5-4 on penalties to FC Lokomotiv at Hartstown Park. Kevin Bell and Olly James got the goals for the Garden county side.
Meanwhile, Roundwood AFC were handed a walkover from Old Court Celtic.
