Glaslough Villa 6-1 Blayney Rovers

Glaslough Villa capped off a sensational campaign in style with a dominant 6-1 victory over Blayney Rovers at Annagap, clinching their second treble in four years in front of a jubilant home crowd and under glorious sunshine.

The match began at a frantic pace, with both sides creating chances, and Blayney Rovers looking the brighter in the opening stages. However, it was Villa who struck first after 20 minutes. Leon McCabe whipped in a dangerous corner, and Terence McDonald was on hand to steer the ball home from close range.

The opener sparked Villa into life. Minutes later, McDonald weaved through the Blayney defence with brilliant footwork before calmly slotting in his second of the game. Just before half-time, Adam McCarey made it 3-0 with a stunning effort from the edge of the box, sending Villa into the break with a commanding lead.

The second half picked up right where the first left off. McDonald completed a well-earned hat-trick with a delightful chip over the keeper to make it 4-0 and seal his Man of the Match performance. He then turned provider, laying off a clever pass to McCarey, who bagged his second of the afternoon with another composed finish.

The final blow came from Stevie Treanor, whose relentless work ethic was rewarded when he powered home a close-range header to make it six for Villa.

Blayney Rovers managed to grab a consolation goal late on, but it did little to dampen the celebrations. Villa’s quality, determination, and teamwork shone through, as they sealed a treble-winning season in unforgettable fashion.

Credit was given to the referee for a strong performance in the middle, and to the grounds staff for the immaculate playing surface. The club also expressed heartfelt thanks to all sponsors and supporters who stood by them throughout the year.

A day of glory, and a season that will live long in the memory at Glaslough Villa.
