Blues get off to a flyer in pre-season friendly with Cobh

Blues get off to a flyer in pre-season friendly with Cobh

Waterford FC 5 - 0 Cobh Ramblers

Five goals, two different teams in each half, and a manager who isn't reading too much into this game where the blues dominated throughout.

The opener came after 24 minutes when Phoenix Patterson latched onto a ball following great work in the midfield, and he fired home from close range.

The lead was doubled when the blues 21-year-old English left-back trialist slotted home in injury time at the end of the first half.

A new 11 continued the good work in the second period, and Owen Oseni made it three-nil on 51 minutes when he picked up the ball after good work from Liam Kervick, and he beat the keeper at his near post.

Junior Quitirna - who thrilled blues fans last season - delivered the goal of the game on 83 minutes; a sublime nutmeg and he blasted across the keeper to the left-hand corner.

Oseni grabbed his second two minutes from time with a simple tap-in from a Kervick low ball after he intercepted a Cobh clearance.
