Dripsey weigh in with comeback win over Council

Cork County Council 3 

The Weigh Inn Dripsey 5

A stunning second-half brace from a man-of-the-match Conor Twomey was the highlight of Dripsey’s comeback win over County Council in another enthralling Dennehy’s Health & Fitness First Division You Tube live offering at The Regional Park last Sunday morning.

After Emmanuel Mbodinma crossed for Rob Susek to fire the hosts in front in the eighth minute, Jamie Torpey equalized with a low shot into the bottom corner eight minutes later. 

Further goals from Susek, a bullet header, and former Cork Eagles’ favourite Greg Sienicki had Council 3-1 ahead at the break. 

However, the visitors got back in contention when Twomey glanced in a header for his first on the hour and Ciarán Pittorino levelled from close range on seventy-three. 

With the bit between their teeth, Dripsey’s Cormac Keane and Twomey added late goals to bring an end to a thrilling encounter. 

Referee Ken O’Driscoll played advantage to good effect on the sticky surface which contributed to the overall enjoyment of the game.
