    Donnelly’s Northern Ireland miss out on play-off spot

    Donnelly’s Northern Ireland miss out on play-off spot

    Liam Donnelly captained Northern Ireland Under 21s to victory on Tuesday night, but his side were denied a place in the UEFA Under 21 European Championship play-offs.

    The nation’s most-capped player at the level helped his team to a 1-0 home win over Slovakia, securing second spot in their group.

    But Portugal’s victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina meant it wasn’t possible for the green and white army to be ranked as one of the best runners-up, with only four of the nine teams in second progressing to the play-off stage.

    Nevertheless, the win over Slovakia made it five wins in nine for former ‘Well boss Ian Baraclough’s side, who also defeated group winners Spain away in September, a game in which Donnelly got on the scoresheet.

    Cadden and Campbell feature in Scotland loss

    Cadden and Campbell feature in Scotland loss

    Chris Cadden and Allan Campbell started as Scotland’s 2019 European Championship qualifying campaign ended with defeat against England.

    The pair were involved at Tynecastle as the group winners ran out 2-0 winners, netting second half goals through Reiss Nelson and Kieran Dowell.

    For Cadden, the match marked the last time he will be able to feature competitively for the Under 21s, with the 22-year-old ineligible for the next qualifying campaign.

    Scotland were already out of the reckoning to make it to the 2019 Euros, having lost in Ukraine last week.

    Craigan happy reserves maintained standards

    Reserve coach Stephen Craigan was pleased his young side kept up their performance levels from the weekend, as they defeated Dunfermline Athletic 5-1 in the SPFL Reserve Cup.

    After a big win in the IRN-BRU Cup against Irish side Sligo Rovers on Saturday in front of a crowd of nearly 1,000, the young Steelmen adjusted well to the calmer surroundings of Forthbank.

    Bigirimana still in Africa Cup of Nations contention

    Bigirimana still in Africa Cup of Nations contention

    Gael Bigirimana’s Burundi remain in a strong position to qualify for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, after picking up a second draw with group favourites Mali.

    After a 0-0 away draw to the Eagles on Saturday, the midfielder started again as his side looked to go top of their group.

    Fiston Abdul Razak opened the scoring early in the first half for Burundi, but they were pegged back by Mamadou Fafana’s equaliser with 18 minutes to spare.

    After four games, Burundi are in third place but are just one point behind Mali and two behind Gabon. The top two teams in the group qualifying automatically for next year’s tournament in Cameroon.

    Burundi face South Sudan away in November, with their opponents already out of the running to qualify. Their final group game comes at home to Gabon in March.

    Reserves put five past Pars

    Motherwell’s second string maintained their excellent form with a 5-1 win over Dunfermline Athletic in the SPFL Reserve Cup.

    Conor Sammon netted a double, with Broque Watson, Adam Livingstone and Christian Mbulu also getting on the scoresheet, as Stephen Craigan’s side made it three wins from three in the competition.

    Yet it was the visitors who took the lead at Forthbank early doors.

    Within three minutes, Kallum Higginbotham’s break inside on the right side of the box past Mbulu allowed him to set up Robbie Muirhead at the back post, who put the ball into the roof of the net from five yards out.

    The game ebbed and flowed until the young Steelmen recovered their position 21 minutes later.

    Liam Brown took the initiative to drive from midfield into the Dunfermline half, before playing in George Newell. The striker’s shot was blocked but fell to Watson, who had time for several touches before equalising from close range.

    Six minutes later, the hosts had the lead. A counter attack saw Watson accelerate clear of two defenders down the right. He then found the space to pick his place for a low cross into the box, where Sammon was waiting to tap home at the back post.

    Dunfermline made two changes at the interval, including withdrawing the lively Higginbotham, but it was Motherwell who would come flying out of the traps.

    A corner on the right saw the youngsters load the box but Akeel Rehman elected instead to find Livingstone, who had positioned himself 30 yards from goal on the inside right side.

    Taking a touch to set himself, he then let fly with a low drive that flew through everyone and into the bottom right corner of the net, past a diving goalkeeper.

    On the hour mark, it was four. Again, Watson was at the heart of things down the right flank and his cross from the byline was met by Johnson. The striker then laid it on a plate for Sammon, who took the ball on the half volley from close range and lashed home his second of the afternoon.

    Johnson and Sammon then made way for young strikers James Scott and Neil McLaughlin, with more goals to come.

    The fifth came from defender Mbulu. After a corner was initially cleared, Livingstone’s lifted ball back into the area was met by the defender at the back post. His header back across goal nestled into the net to make it two goals in two games.

    Controlling the remainder of the game, Motherwell got the win to surely guarantee their passage in the competition with a match to spare.

    Jennow delighted with semi final win

    Donald Jennow was thrilled after seeing his side overcome SWPL 1 side Spartans to reach the final of the SSE Scottish Women’s Cup.

    Second half goals from Kerry Montgomery and Caitlin Russell earned the women of steel a 3-1 victory after Tegan Reynolds had cancelled out Megan Burns’ first half opener.

    ‘Well will now face holders Hibernian at Firhill on 4 November in an attempt to complete a league and cup double.

    “We were massive underdogs coming into the game and Spartans were in great form too,” Jennow said. “It was going to be a massive challenge for us, but every one of our players stood up and overcame that challenge.

    “I wasn’t concerned when their equaliser went in, it’s something that happens in football and you just have to show the character and resolve to deal with it.

    “When we scored our third with only a little time left there was a bit of relief and we were able to see the game out from there.”

    Jennow’s side will now turn their focus back to the league and their final two fixtures of what has been an incredible season.

    The ‘Well gaffer is excited at what lies ahead and insists his squad are up for the challenge of coming up against the cup holders and SWPL1 tile contenders.

    “We were relishing the challenge of facing Spartans and we relish the challenge even more to play Hibs in the final,” Jennow added. “It’ll be a huge game and a massive test, they are competing for the SWPL1 title and have won the cup in the last two seasons.

    “They have very good players, but so do we.

    “I’m delighted for the players and everyone at the club to have reached the final, it’ll be a great occasion.
    “We had a great support today and hopefully we can have even more ‘Well fans along for the final in three weeks’ time.”
