But they stormed back into the game in the second half, scoring twice inside as many minutes. Captain Joe Redmond headed them level before Nolan’s winner moved Jon Daly’s side up to third place in the table. Josh Honohan cut in on the left to feed Burke who got the ball onto his left foot to rifle a shot wide across goal.The impressive Honohan outfoxed Luke Turner on the left to cross low into the area where Dylan Watts’ flick shaved the top of the crossbar.Ruairi Keating and Anto Breslin combined on the left. The latter’s cross forced Rovers’ defender Sean Hoare to inadvertently knock the ball goalward under pressure from Brandon Kavanagh.
