PASSAGE YOUTHS DOUBLE:
John Carroll scored an incredible 37 goals as he helped Passage
youths to a splendid double in second division football. Under
the guidance of manager Paddy Carroll and his assistant Finbarr
Burke, the harbourside colts won the Second Division Cup and the
title in AUL Division Two.
The league campaign eventually boiled down to a thrilling finish
between Passage and Everton. Passage, who had played second
fiddle to the city side in two previous meetings, came good when
it mattered and won the final crucial contest by 2 - 1. David
O'Neill got the equaliser and that man Carroll supplied the 84th
minute winner.
The Cup final against a fine Macroom side was a thriller all the
way with good quality goals and then brilliant penalty taking in
the 28 kick shootout.
Gordon O'Riordan put Passage in front. Back came Macroom to lead
2 - 1 only for Pat Mehigan's strike to bring the match to extra
time and eventually to that dramatic shootout. Passage missed
just one spotter, unlucky Macroom just one more.
