FINN HARPS’ busy spell continued tonight when Ollie Horgan’s team hosts St Patrick’s Athletic at Finn Park.
ALL OVER!!
92 GOAL as Sean Houston riffled to the top corner to level it up. YES!! FH 1 PATS 1
TEN MINUTES of stoppage time here…
Plenty of life about Harps, but time is running out…
75 – Oooohhhhh. Tony McNamee whizzes a free-kick just wide.
70 – Clarke plucks the ball from the air after McNulty flicks on a McNamee throw-in. FH 0 PATS 1
64 – 1-0 Pats as Timlin converts from a Conan Byrne cross. FH 0 PATS 1
60 – Stoppage of seven minutes to allow for treatment to Cowan, who is replaced by Packie Mailey. And BJ Banda has been replaced by Tony McNamee.
53 – Worry here as a stretcher comes on for Keith Cowan, who seemed to go down awkwardly.
The second half is underway here at Finn Park.
Half-time: Finn Harps 0 St Patrick’s Athletic 0
33 – Decent chance for Pats, but Fagan, after connecting with Byrne’s cross, arrows wide of the near post.
25 – …but Houston’s effort goes harmlessly wide. FH 0 PATS 0
25 – Yellow card for Mark Timlin for chopping down Gareth Harkin. Free to Harps…
23 – Captain Ciaran Coll is making his 200th Harps appearance tonight. Fabulous milestone for the St Johnston man.
[adrotate group=”80″]20 – Let off for Harps as Jamie McGrath slips a ball through to Timlin, but his shot isn’t great and Harps survive. FH 0 PATS 0
14 – not much to report on at a quiet Finn Park. If Harps could take something here it would be a massive, massive help to their survival hopes. FH 0 PATS 0
1 – Ryan Curran shoots wide after a decent start by Harps. FH 0 PATS 0
[adrotate group=”50″]We’re underway at Finn Park
Banda netted a hat-trick for the Harps Under-19s in a 3-1 win over Cork in the Under-19 quarter-final on Saturday.
BJ Banda comes in for his first start since the end of last season, taking the place of Adam Hanlon, who is injured.
Finn Harps: Ciaran Gallagher; Ethan Boyle, Damien McNulty, Keith Cowan, Ciaran Coll; Michael Funston, Barry Molloy, Gareth Harkin, Ryan Curran; Sean Houston, BJ Banda.
St Pat’s manager Liam Buckley has also made one change to his line-up with Mark Timlin, from Buncrana, taking Billy Dennehy’s place from the team that beat Wexford 4-1.
This game was originally pencilled in for September 23, but was called off late in the evening when, just 40 minutes before the kick-off time, referee Tom Connolly ruled Finn Park unplayable.
