The Haverford Dragons prevailed over Lower Merion Sunday night to win the EPYSA Indoor Challenge Cup 2-0 on penalties in a gruelling contest which capped an exhausting day for the club and brought them another trophy under coach Bradley.
Playing the entire tournament without a full bench, and with Willie Fineberg bravely battling through an intestinal bug, Haverford came from behind in the final match to force extra time, before the match was settled from the penalty spot.
Noah Cordrey and Shane Bradley converted their kicks, and Patrick Hegarty saved Lower Merion’s second shot following a Lower Merion miss.
Lower Merion made the breakthrough in the 5th minute after sustained pressure on the Dragons’ goal paid off.
But it was Cordrey who levelled terms three minutes later with a well-taken right-footed effort placed in the top corner.
Throughout the rest of regulation, Lower Meriod had a slew of chances to regain the lead, forcing dynamic saves from keeper Danny Lyons and various defenders who cleared the line. Senan Farrelly, Shane Bradley and Willie Fineberg were all pressed into action at the back.
