Substitute Davenport ends Redcastle cup hoodoo

Redcastle United           2-1    Clonmany Shamrocks

A goal three minutes from the end of a very entertaining final by substitute Stephen Davenport secured Redcastle their first cup victory after ten heartbreaking nights. Played in wet and windy conditions both teams have to be complimented as they played some excellent passages of football. Clonmany had the opening chance on 8minutes when Michael Grant fed  Jason Devlin who burst into the area but his effort was blocked by Gerard Crossan. Redcastle replied with Eamon Donnelly seeing his free from distance skidding past Peter Devlin’s right hand post before Eddie McIntyre found space on the right and drilled a shot across goal and wide. Clonmany took the lead on 22 minutes when a defensive error allowed Paddy Doherty to turn and shoot low to the corner from fourteen yards. Redcastle replied immediately and got back on terms after Eamon Donnelly collected a pass on the edge of the area and neatly shifted the ball from right to left before drilling low past Devlin.On  41 minutes Jason Devlin collected a pass from Grant and cut in from the right to unleash a powerful shot which Crossan tipped over. At the other end after a neat interchange of passes by Andy Porter, Brian Tracey and McIntyre saw Daniel Harkin collect the ball on the left and he was unlucky to see his cross shot beat Devlin but crash back off the post.On the stroke of half time a Liam Davenport free found Porter but he was reaching for it and failed to direct his header on target. Clonmany began the second period in the ascendancy and when Marty Doherty’s overhead kick found Jason Devlin his shot was saved at full stretch by Crossan.The same players combined just before the hour mark but Devlin’s weak shot was easily gathered by Crossan.On 67 minutes Redcastle replied with Ryan McMonagle laying the ball into the path of McIntyre whose driven cross was scrambled clear by the Clonmany defence.Substitute Charlie McCormick then raced into the area and rounded keeper Devlin but his cross found no takers. With extra time looming Redcastle struck for the winner on 87 minutes and it was two substitutes who conjured up the winning goal when McCormick’s right wing corner was glanced to the net by the inrushing Stephen Davenport from the edge of the six yards area to send the Redcastle players, fans and management into raptures. Clonmany tried to respond but the Redcastle defence with Martin Farren and man of the match Donnelly superb stood firm.

All associated with Inishowen football will wish Clonmany’s Michael Grant a speedy recovery from his knock which necessitated a trip to hospital.
