Connah’s Quay Nomads battled their way through to the Quarterfinals of the IRN-BRU Cup in tough conditions at the Deeside Stadium on Saturday night. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The tail end of Storm Callum played havoc in a match which saw two Coleraine players sent-off. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The Bannsiders had the better of the first half but both sides had chances, Jay Owen shot over the bar for Nomads while Coleraine had a penalty appeal turned down. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Nomads boss Andy Morrison changed the shape at half time and on 61 minutes George Horan headed the opener from a monster of a throw in by Andy Owens. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Lowry saw red four minutes later for a second bookable offence, it went from bad to worse for Coleraine as captain Stephen O’Donnell was given a straight red on 68 minutes after fouling Andy Owens who through on goal. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The win was confirmed in the third minute of added as Owens slid in to score from close range. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
