Tierney's brace power the Ramblers to glory

Ramblers made their first visit to Terryland Park a memorable one as a David Tierney brace saw the Leitrim Kilnadeema based side collect the MJ Crowe Auctioneers Division 4 Cup following a uncompromising clash with West Utd on Friday April 18th. On an occasion when chances were at a premium, it was the city side who broke the deadlock when Gavin Colleran forced home a scrambled opener from close range. The lead was short-lived, however, for within minutes the contest was level. On this occasion, it was a family affair as Tom Tierney crossed for brother David to side foot home from 15 yards to tie up matters. The work rate of David Spellman and Mike Flanagan kept Ramblers in the ascendancy, but a Mike Keating header that was saved was the closest either side came to adding to their tally before the end of normal time. Subsequently, West were struck a blow when William Grant suffered a shoulder injury which resulted in him departing the scene. Tierney who has been a prolific scorer throughout the campaign eventually struck for the winner in the second period of extra time. On this occasion fellow front man Mike Keating who set up the opportunity and Tierney drove the delivery into the top corner for a dramatic win to give the club their first silverware since 2005.
