15.9.18
\nSpartak 3, Kilbarrack Utd 2<\/p>\n
Man of the match Owen McCormack scored a header and an well taken opportunist goal to add to a fine performance at centre back.<\/p>\n
The visitors were a good side, moved the ball well and could all play a bit, so the Sky Blues were under early pressure. However the defence played solidly throughout and kept the marauding forwards at bay with good tackle, blocks and interceptions.<\/p>\n
A good move between Chris Hogan and Jason Fenlon saw the latter\u2019s cross driven across goal, where a defender inadvertently deflected it in for the lead goal. Spartak had a flurry of chances following a corner, but snatched at each, before Kilbarrack broke at pace to secure an equaliser.<\/p>\n
The Sky Blues\u2019 response was instantaneous, with Owen McCormack nodding in Dale Mullins\u2019 corner at the back post.<\/p>\n
A solid second half performance saw the three points safe, after Owen McCormack took advantage of a goalkeeper\u2019s misplaced pass to shoot in first time, left footed, from 25 yards. 3-1.<\/p>\n
Kilbarrack got one back after Greg Byrne\u2019s great save was followed in for the rebound by a forward.<\/p>\n
But Spartak held firm and the points were secure.<\/p>\n
