\nSpartak 3, Three Trout Rovers 0<\/p>\n
In this Leinster Junior Shield First Round match, Spartak played hosts to a newly formed UCFL Div 3 side.<\/p>\n
A 2nd minute goal settled the home side when Ryan Burke drilled home after a good move. However there was a long wait till the 44th minute for the next effort on target when a looping Shane McInerney shot was tipped over. <\/p>\n

The visitors had an effort scrambled clear by Jason Northey after a free kick conceded by Neill Bolger
\nCathal made a great last ditch tackle when the Three Trout forward bore down on goal after confusion about the defensive line. Jason Northey had to make a couple of decent interventions as the visitors threatened.<\/p>\n
On 63 minutes a slick passing move involving Chris Hogan and Ryan Burke gave Ross Kelly the chance to put in a good cross, which Colum O\u2019Sullivan headed neatly home for number 2 to make the game safe.<\/p>\n
The visitors never stopped trying and created a number of openings, but suffered from the lack of a finishing touch. Three Trout had a shout for a penalty for handball against Cathal Clancy, but the ref, who was quite lenient to both sides, waved away claims.<\/p>\n
As the game meandered and the pace dropped, the Sky Blues scored a third goal on 77 minutes when Cathal again won possession with a crunching tackle; Niall Hanratty\u2019s long ball sent Ross Kelly clear and he made no mistake.<\/p>\n
On to Round 2 with a clean sheet and <\/p>\n
