Newmarket Celtic 9
Inch Crusaders 0
Venue: McDonough Memorial Park, Newmarket-on-Fergus
Newmarket Celtic had little difficulty in accounting for Inch Crusaders on Tuesday evening. The result keeps them in second place in the Premier Division one point behind leaders Avenue Utd.
Inch could only muster ten players for the tie and the home side were in control from the off.
Two goals inside the first ten minutes laid the foundation for the victory which keeps their hopes of league success alive.
Itโs a very busy time of the season for clubs in contention for honours with games coming quickly.
Long serving Eoin Hayes opened the scoring for Newmarket and this was quickly followed by one from Dean Hegarty.
Hayes struck again in the fourteenth minute aNd seven minutes later Hegarty fired home his second.
Alan Reidy took over in goals for the winners from Shane Cusack who picked up a knock.
Goals followed from Brian OโConnor (2) and Cathal Cullinan as Newmarket made it 7-0 by half time.
Inch, to their credit, battled throughout and Ronan Cahill had a strong header saved by Reidy just after the half hour mark.
For the second half Newmarket sent in Che Burke Sheedy for Jack Kelly, Kieran Hackett for Dean Hegarty and Billy McNamara for Antony Dabrynets.
They continued to dominate and had further goals from Ronan McCormack and Nathan Bovantura to seal a comfortable victory.
Matrin Moran, Padraig Talty, Ben Wragg, Kenneth and Bradley Higgins worked hard for the visitors throughout.
Celtic will be expected to make it four wins in a row when they travel to an already relegated Kilkishen Celtic on Sunday morning.
