Ten-man Goodwick beat derby rivals Fishguard

 

Fishguard Sports 0 – Goodwick United 2

 
Ten-man Goodwick United earned a hard fought derby victory against derby rivals Fishguard Sports at Tregroes.

In the eighth minute the visitors broke the deadlock when Steff Hayes’ long throw in the box was met by a neat far post finish by Jonny Horgan.
 
On the 35 minute mark Goodwick were reduced to ten-men as Steven Dockerty received a straight red card for a two-footed tackle.

Horgan’s floated free kick in the box was met by Scott Delaney who headed across the face of goal to younger brother, Matty Delaney who headed home from close range.
