There were two shocks in the Munster Junior Cup last weekend as both Killavilla United and Nenagh Celtic exited the competition in the second round.

Borroway Rovers ousted Killavilla United by the odd goal in seven at Villa Park on Saturday night. A brace apiece from Calum O’Connor and Jake Moore was enough to see the Thurles side through despite the best efforts of Paul Kirwan (2) and Craig Phelan.
