Big shock in Tipperary soccer - Bansha Celtic stun Clonmel Town in Munster Junior Cup

Munster Junior Cup (2nd Round)

Clonmel Town 0 – 3 Bansha Celtic

Clonmel Towns season took another hammer blow when they were on the end of another heavy defeat that ends their interest in this year's Munster Junior Cup. Town were hoping to bounce back after last week's disappointing loss to St. Michael's but unfortunately were dealt a major blow when they were reduced to ten men early in the game.
This gave Bansha some momentum, and they grew in confidence dominating much of the first half play, before opening the scoring with a goal ten minutes before the break.
One nil up at half-time, they were able to sit back in the early part of the second period and allow the hosts to come at them, while looking for opportunities to hit on the counter attack. Then the away side gave up the one man advantage by having a player of their own sent off, midway through the half.
A Town onslaught was expected, but it never materialised with Bansha Celtic looking the more dangerous every time they broke with the ball. They were rewarded for their tactical excellence 20 minutes from time, when a mix-up in the home defence saw the visitors double their lead.
Town looked very deflated and with ten minutes left on the clock a ball over the defence was excellently put away to seal a comfortable and deserving three goal win for the away side.
