OMP hit four against Ardee
Navan club OMP Utd did their own version of a certain Champions League encounter last night and even went one better in a crucial NEFL Premier tie.
OMP took the crucial three points as they blitzed Louth visitors Ardee Celtic with a four-goal salvo for a 4-0 victory.
Jamie Blake was the sharpshooter with a sensational hat-trick while Rob Coombes also got in on the act with a well-taken goal.
The win is a major boost to OMP's prospects of staying the Premier League in their first season back in the top grade after winning the Div 1 title last season under the management of David Doyle.
OMP were two up at half-time and scored two more in the second half. Super team performance with Blake, Conor Walsh, Ciaran O'Hanlon and Gary Gibney to the fore
OMP Utd - C.McBride; D.Bracken, S.Doyle, R.Dillon, C.O’Hanlon, S.Casey(c), C.Walsh, R.Coombes, R.Murphy, G.Gibney, J.Blake. Subs - D.Callan for Murphy, D.Corcoran for Bracken, O.McGuinness for Casey, A.Kearney for Gibney, P.Cunningham for Blake, M.Brennan.
