Narrow defeat for Cosmos against Quay

Navan Cosmos made the trip to Dundalk tonight to play Quay Celtic in a back match in the NEFL Premier and were edged out following a tight game by the odd goal in three.

This was a crucial game for Cosmos only days after a tough encounter against Janesboro in the sixth round of the FAI JUnior Cup and it took a toll on the players.

Cosmos still have games in hand on leaders Muirhevnamor and this was only a second defeat of the season in the Premier League for Derek Coogan's men who travel to play the leaders next Wednesday night.

Before that they will face Kingscourt Harps on Sunday in what will be another tough outing, but one they will expected to win.
