He subsequently scored another goal from a penalty kick on 5 April 2008 to help Citizen to come back to win 2-1 against South China AA. He then scored from another penalty kick in a 2-4 defeat to Eastern AA on 13 April 2008, taking his tally for the season to 3.
Ronan missed the FA Cup 2007–08 final after being sent off in the semi-final against Eastern AA on 5 May 2008 for receiving two yellow cards. In the final, Citizen went on to win the cup with a 2-0 win over Wofoo Tai Po.
