\nSallynoggin Pearse 8, Spartak 1<\/p>\n
This game, on the old sloping pitch at Rochestown Avenue, was overshadowed by an injury to keeper Bobby Hayes which necessitated a trip to hospital; Bobby bravely dived at the forward\u2019s feet and sustained a nasty head injury. Luckily the visit entailed no more than stitches to repair the damage.<\/p>\n
The score at the time of Bobby\u2019s departure was 1-1, Adam Doran having headed an equaliser from Niall Lennon\u2019s free after the Sky Blues had uncharacteristically conceded from a corner. <\/p>\n
The thankless task of replacing Bobby fell to Mick Greene, who had the misfortune to receive little protection from his team mates, and who, due to injury, was severely restricted.<\/p>\n
Spartak\u2019s misfortune did not end at Bobby\u2019s injury; due to cry offs a number of players carrying knocks had to turn out and the second half took its toll as the home side, in a clinical display of finishing, drove home their advantage. Everything Sallynoggin hit went in, while, remarkably in such a one sided score, Spartak had many chances themselves to score but finished ineptly. <\/p>\n
Joe Roe would not have been flattered with a hat trick, Neill Bolger volleyed over with the keeper out of position, with Adam Doran, Shane McInerney and Niall Lennon all having efforts to add to the score. <\/p>\n
So a poor defensive display and equally poor at the other end.<\/p>\n
To record that the home side were bottom of the league prior to this game, and that this was their first win, only adds to the pain.<\/p>\n
