Avenue United boss David Russell says no one in their set up is surprised that they overcame the reigning FAI Junior Cup champions to reach the last 16 of this years competition.
Goals in either half from Ronan Kerin and Elias Kunz saw the Cherries beat Donegal’s Cockhill Celtic 2-0 on home soil in Roslevan.
Defensive stalwart Conor Mullen missed out on the game through illness, while regular central defender Dylan Casey was only called for the last 20 minutes of the contest after having returned from travelling.
Russell says while it is a huge win for the club, they need to park it now with an eye on bigger prizes.
Meanwhile Bridge United manager Mark Colbert admits they are devastated by the manner of their exit from this years FAI Junior Cup.
A dubious penalty in injury time of extra time saw Kilkenny’s Evergreen leave Sixmilebridge with a 3-2 victory.
The game looked destined to be decided by a penalty shootout, with the home side having come from behind twice to force the added period.
Colbert says his players put in a huge performance
