Cockhill were on top from the start in this game and should have went ahead in the first minute. Ronan Doherty crossed for Mark Coyle who side stepped a defender before shooting at Gareth Wade.
They took the lead on 3mins when Garbhan Friel was released down the right, his pinpoint cross superbly headed home by Laurence Toland.
It was 2-0 on 13mins. A Ryan Varma free kick found William O’Connor. His downward header hit the post and bounced across goal before Oisin McColgan converted from close range.
Cockhill continued to dominate and on 25mins it was 3-0. Toland found space down the right and his cross was flicked home by James Bradley (Pictured).
Bonagee then had their best spell of the half forcing a number of set pieces but any balls in the box were comfortably dealt with by Gavin Cullen although Cockhill did have an escape when a Larkin cross across goal had no takers.
The second half started in a similar fashion and Bonagee”s job was made harder on 54mins when Funston was red carded after kicking out off the ball.
On 57mins James Bradley evaded a number of challenges before forcing a fine save from Wade.
On 67mins, Wade produced a fantastic save to deny Mark Moran but was beaten for the 4th time when Marty Doherty coolly slotted home after a Friel shot was deflected into his path.
Five nil on 79mins when Bradley releases Moran who advanced into the box before passing the ball past Wade.
Bradley got his second of the game on 85mins, converting after good work by Marty Doherty and Paul McKinney.
The game ended in farcical fashion when 3 players were red carded in the 87th minute after Marty Doherty challenged Wade, Doherty being harshly sent off for the challenge, Wade for retaliation and Bonagee’s Paul Tracey received a second yellow for dissent
