Krag Albion reach Canada Trophy final in first season
Manager Peter Owens, who took over the reins of the club at the start of the season, also steered his side to promotion in midweek thanks to a victory over Monkstown FC.
Albion were early on the attack against Cookstown and went in front when Jonny Robb finished off a good move. Things got even better for Krag when Robb put them two up with his second goal.
