Waterford Crystal advanced to the Round of 16 in the Munster Junior Cup yesterday, beating Killarney Celtic 1 goal to nil.

The sides were level at nil all by the end of 90 minutes and extra time was needed to separate the sides.

Miki Hearn scored the crucial goal in extra time and Crystal were able to hold on for the win.

Ferrybank are already in the last 16 of the competition, while Tramore play Fairview Rangers this Sunday (Jan 15th) and Villa are in action on the 22nd.

Elsewhere this past weekend, Villa were denied the Munster Champions Trophy by St Michaels of Tipperary in Clonmel.

Conor Coad's side took the lead early in the first half thanks to Dean Walsh, and would head for the changing rooms with that advantage.

St Michaels equalised in the 51st minute and neither side were able to secure the lead before the full-time whistle.

In extra time, the teams remained deadlocked with neither able to net the decisive score.
