Final: Aston Villa 6 St Pat's 0

Villa held a 2-0 lead at the break as striker Juan Pablo Angel netted twice in eight minutes, his second coming from a Peter Whittingham cross which he glanced past Chris Adamson from the edge of the six yard box.

The seriousness of this encounter bear fruit with O'Leary making no substitutions during half-time. Referee Ian Stokes sent Eamon Collins off following a disagreement between the Pat's boss and Marcus Allback following a bad challenge by Whittingham on Pierre De Block at the end of the Pat's technical area on 54 minutes.

Colm Foley failed to trouble new Villa signing Thomas Sorensen with two headed attempts as Pat's brought on numerous replacements.
Allback claimed Villa's third on 78 minutes, following through on the rebound of a Mark Kinsella shot. Further goals from Whittingham and Mustapha Hadji brought an end to the match as a contest.
