After a dull first half, Cherry Orchard were unlucky not to take the lead in the 60th minute when John McNeill's close range effort was pushed onto the post Chris O'Connor.

A replay seemed the most likely result before the Seasiders finally made the breakthrough in the 78th minute.

Philip Keogh's deep free kick saw Orchard 'keeper Thomas Murphy punch under pressure from Fox but the ball landed at the feet of Andrei Georgescu who crashed a 15-yard shot off the under-side of the bar and Fox reacted first to poke over the line from just three yards out.
