Congratulations to all at Team OTP involved putting together a fantastic piece with one of Ireland's most exciting stars.
In the first division, home advantage was key with only one goal scored between the five away sides, as leaders Cork City hammered Finn Harp's 4-0, Bray Wanderers also gave Wexford a 4-0 drubbing, Longford Town and Presley beat Treaty United 3-1, Cove Ramblers won 2-0 against Kerry, and finally UCD kept up their promotion push with a 1-0 win at a home to add a lone town.
This weekend marks the final round of fixtures in the group stage of the Avenir All-Island Cup, with all eight matches taking place today.
In Group A at 3 o'clock, Linfield take on Saga Rovers, and Shamrock Rovers hope to finish off with a perfect record as they host Wexford.
In Group B at 5 o'clock, DLR Waves travel to Galway United, and P-Mount United look to secure their place in the next round as they host Lisbon Rangers.
In Group C at 2 o'clock, 3D United face off against Atlantown to determine who tops the group, while Cliftonville host Cork looking to upset both of those sides.
And finally at 5 o'clock in Group D, Bohemians host Waterford looking to pick up their first win in the competition, while Shelburne try and continue their perfect record as they travel to Glentorn.

Welcome along to this week's edition of the LOA Wrap-Up, I'm Ross Fanagan.
On today's episode, the champions are stunned again, Shells finally win at home, Bows get closer to the top, and the loud derby ends level.
But first, Sligo Rovers shocked Shamrock Rovers last night with a late 2-1 win away in Tata Stadium.
A Shamrock KO or ungoal opened the scoring for the home side, but Sligo held on with Jenna De Isua equalising midway through the second half.
But it was Karl McHugh who won the game with a 97-minute goal to give the Hoops their first home defeat of the season.
Former Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Barry Murphy spoke about the encounter on last night's LOI Late Night.
