Tramore 3; Ballina Town 1
Tramore have advanced to Round six of the FAI Junior Cup following this victory in Graun Park on Sunday last.
Unbeaten in all competitions to date this season, Alan Reynold’s charges turned in a very flat performance during the opening 45 minutes but they certainly came good in the second half and duly went on to outclass a hard working Ballina Town outfit.
It was the visitors from Mayo who went close after six minutes of play when Keith Duffy rose high at the back post to meet a free kick taken by Brendan Lavelle but he headed over the crossbar.
Tramore did not have a shot on target until the 36th minute and that effort came from a free kick.
