Baldoyle United beat Fair City on penalties - for real this time - in North Dublin grudge match

They needed penalties to separate them again, but there'll be no controversy this time as Baldoyle United defeated Fair City's Carrigstown Crusaders for real on spot kicks after a 2-2 draw.

A controversial incident occurred in the RTE flagship soap back in September when characters Damien and Wayne lamented losing a penalty shootout to the North Dublin club after claiming their goalkeeper moved off his line.

Damien has been wandering around the fictitious Dublin suburb trying to convince anyone and everyone that the Baldoyle keeper moved - an accusation not taken too kindly by the club.

And the two sides finally settled their differences today where, predictably, it would come down to spot kicks.

The North Dublin Derby was settled with no need for VAR, however, as a poor final spot kick from the soap stars dragged wide.

Tickets for the 'rematch' fully sold out, and the money raised will go towards helping both the club and St Michael's House, a charity that helps adults and children with intellectual disabilities.
