FAI Cup win for Parkvilla

Parkvilla got the perfect boost to kick-start their season when they negotiated Garda by 2-0 in the FAI Intermediate Cup at Claremont Stadium, Navan last night. On a freezing night at the Claremont "Stadium of Light" the Claret and Blues were up against league rivals Garda and were well up to the task. With Kenny Ratty marshalling the defence they had a more solid rearguard look and following a scoreless first-half, two goals from Danny Ennis gave the Meath side a merited victory. Best for Parkvilla were Stephen McCrossan, Mark Brady, Ciaran Rogers and Niall Jones.
