The Juniors came out with a 3-0 win thanks to a Tommy Cole double and a Liam Carey strike, with Colts keeper Tommy Barr pulling off a string of fine saves to keep his side in the game.

However, the outcome could have been so different had Juniors’ keeper Fin Venn not pulled off a fine double stop to keep out a penalty at 2-0.
