Well taken goals from Paddy McGrenaghan and Kevin McHugh booked Finn Harps' passage through to the semi-finals of the National League Cup last night.

McGrenaghan began and finished the move for the opening strike five minutes after the interval; collecting an Alex Nesovic return to drill the ball low past Stephen O'Brien from 20 yards.

Nesovic was again involved as he skilfully crossed for Kevin McHugh to head home the second in the final minute following McGrenaghan's corner.
