By: Scott Boyde - Posted on

INTERMDIATE DIVISION
RASHARKIN UNITED  1 RACEVIEW    5
This was a big win for Raceview in their quest to win the league and put a dent in the aspirations of Rasharkin. Raceview took the lead after William Cameron scored on the 3rd minute but then saw Rasharkin draw level on the 11th minute when Sammy McConaghie scored. Play continued at a fast pace then on the 32nd minute Matt Redmond struck with a great 25yard free kick to put Raceview back in front. Rasharkin third hard to get back level but a brace of goals scored by Jordan Lemon and Colin Craig on the 65th and 66th put Raceview in a strong position to win the game which was secured when Bobby Hanna scored number five on the 81st minute.  Referee Mr. Martin Taylor

CARNINY AMATEURS  1 DUNLOY    3
The first forty five minutes saw both teams play at a very fast pace but though chances came and went at both ends no goals were scored at half-time. This changed early in the second half when Conor McKinley scored on the 56thminute putting Dunloy in front. An own goal conceded by Dunloy saw the teams back level which remained until Benny McGarry scored on the 72nd minute putting Dunloy back in front. Carniny tried hard to get back into the game but after Chrissy Brogan scored on the 81st minute the points were on their way to Dunloy. Referee Mr. Tony Young

 KILBRIDE SWIFTS  0 BRANTWOOD    2
This was a home game for both teams Kilbride play their home games at the Brantwood ground. Brantwood got off to a good start taking the lead after Joseph McClenaghan scored on the 8th minute and though both teams had chances to score after this the single goal separated the teams at half-time. The second half saw Kilbride try hard to get the equaliser but Brantwood held firm and when Aidan Hanna scored on the 80th minute the points were safe.  Referee Mr. Colin Rainey
     IFA INTERMEDIATE CUP ROUND 3
   BANDBRIDGE RANGERS  5 BALLYNURE OLD BOYS    6 After Penalties
This was a good win for Ballynure who came from behind to win. The home side took the lead on the 19th minute through a converted penalty kick then as half-time approached Ballynure scored a deserved goal through Rob McDowell. Ballynure then had a good chance to go in front in the second half but failed to convert a penalty thus extra time was played. No more goals were scored and penalties were taken with Ballynure winning 5 to 4 after sudden death shoot-out.

   DESERTMARTIN  1 BALLYMONEY UNITED    7
Ballymoney took a two goal lead before William Watson scored for Desertmartin then as half-time was almost reached Ballymoney restored their two goal advantage. In the second half Desertmartin went looking for goals and this cost them dearly as Ballymoney sat back and picked them off scoring a further four goals.

   DONEGAL CELTIC RES 0 NEWTOWNE    2
The ground at Celtic Park was a bit sticky after a game was played on it on Friday night and this certainly did not help in playing any good flowing football. Newtowne then got the breakthrough on the 61st minute when Conor O’Hara scored and this allowed the game to open up. Time was then almost up when Gary Moore ensured the win for Newtowne when he scored on the 90th minute.
     JUNIOR DIVISIONS LEAGUE GAMES
      DIVISION ONE
   GLEBE RANGERS RES  4 BALLYMONEY UTD RES    10
This was certainly a high scoring derby game and no one would have predicted the scoreline before the kick off. Ballymoney dominated the first-half and went in at half-time leading by Six goals scored by a Neil Fleming hat-trick and a goal each by Conor Reid, Mark Dempsey and Gareth Hill. Early in the second half Garth Henry pulled a couple of goals back for Glebe before Mark Dempsey, Colum Kirgan, Andrew Aitkinson and Conor Reid scored for Ballymoney. Glebe to their credit never gave up with Gareth Henry competing his hat-trick and Warren Morrison scoring before the final whistle.  Referee Mr. Brian Leitch

   MOYOLA PARK OLYMPIC 1 MAGHERAFELT SKY BLUE RES    0
The synthetic surface at Mill Meadow certainly allowed for good flowing football but both teams concentrated more on defence thus no goals were scored during the first-half. The second half saw a similar pattern of play the  with the game going into the final few minutes Moyola struck with Matthew West scoring the winning goal on the 88th minute. Referee Mr. Gary Crawford        
      DIVISION TWO
    WOODLANDS  3 ANTRIM ROVERS    0
Woodlands continued with their recent good run of form with this win but though winning by three clear goals Antrim had their chances as well in the game. Jonny Parkes opened the scoring for Woodlands and a second goal followed soon after scored by Steven Grant. Antrim had to chase the game after this but fell further behind after Jonny Parkes scored his second goal in the game.  Referee Mr. Harry Dunseith
   COOKSTOWN OLYMPIC 1 RED STAR    1
Both teams tended to cancel each other out during the first forty five minutes and as a result the scoreline was blank at half-time. Thing changed a bit in the second half with Red Star taking the lead after Noel O’Connor scored on the 58th minute. Cookstown then upped the pace on attack getting back level after Jonathan O’Neil scored on the 75th minute setting the game up for a grandstand finish but at the end it was point to each team. Referee Mr. Bert Purdy

   BALLYCLARE NORTH END 1 3rd BALLYCLARE OLD BOYS    2
At the end of this derby game it was the Old Boys who took the bragging rights for the week-end. The first goal in the game came on the 17thminute scored by Jon Davey which saw the Old Boys in front at half-time. North End got back on level terms after Graham Hylands scored on the 53rd minute and this then saw both teams go for the winner which went to the Old Boys after Jon Davey scored his second goal in the game on the 65th minute.  Referee Mr. Ian Getty

    FC LARNE  4 GRANGE RANGERS II    2
Larne certainly had control of this game for the first hour but then late flurry from Grange who were then playing with ten men saw then cut the deficit in half and but for failing to convert a penalty on the 65th minute Larne could have had a few anxious minutes at the end. Larne took the lead on the 5th minute after Philip Mawhinney scored then added two more goals from Gareth Mullen on the 15th minute and Alan Burgess on the 45th minute. Larne then increased their lead after Alan Burgess scored on the 55th minute. Grange then got going and after missing the penalty kick they got a brace of goals scored by Dave Mulholland on the 70th and 81st minutes but this was not enough to save the game. Referee Mr. Lee Patterson

   WAKEHURST STROLLERS 5 CARNLOUGH SWIFTS    4
This was a very high scoring game between two evenly matched teams and at the end the Swifts were a bit unlucky not to take a point from it. Carnlough took the lead after Dion Tsang scored on the 17th minute only to see Jason Johnston score for the Strollers on the 26th minute. Carnlough went in front again after Niall McAllister scored on the 30th minute but the Strollers came back to level the game after Stuart McKinney scored on the 50th minute. Jason Johnson then scored his second goal on the 65th minute putting the Strollers in front but Dion Tsang cancelled this out when he scored on the 70th minute. Jason Johnston completed his hat-trick on the 75th minute but back came the Swifts with Des O’Reilly scoring on the 81st minute. The game then went into the final minutes when Jason Johnston won the game for the Strollers by scoring his fourth goal in the game on the 90th minute.
Referee Mr. Samuel Forsythe
      DIVISION THREE
  CARRICKFERGUS YOUNG CITIZENS 2 14th NEWTOWNABBEY    2
This was a closely contested game for the entire 90 minutes and a share of the points was probably a fair result to both teams. Newtownabbey took the lead after Jonny Robinson scored on the 20th minute then the Citizens hit back with Ian Strong scoring the equaliser on the 36th minute. Newtownabbey went in front for a second time when Jonny Robinson converted a penalty on the 54th minute and held this lead until Ricky Coulter scored the equaliser on the 90th minute. Referee Mr. Trevor Higgins

   FC BALLYNURE YM  3 ENCORE FC    3
Encore went in at half-time in this game leading by two goals to nil with goals scored by Joe Ward and Jamie Dodds and also at this time Ballynure were down to ten men having had their Keeper sent off for a professional foul. Ballynure then got back into the game after Neil Lorimer converted a penalty on the 60th minute but Encore restored their two goal advantage when Andy Brownlee scored on the 66th minute. Ballynure came back aging cutting the deficit when Warren Anderson scored on the 75th minute and then with time running out Warren Simpson scored the equaliser on the 84th minute. Referee Mr. Adrian Dodds

    CASTLE STAR  5 1st MOSSLEY YM    1
This result will stand castle in good stead as this was the first league defeat Mossley suffered having won their previous ten league games. Castle took the lead when Michael Dallas scored mid-way through the first-half and extended this lead with a brace of goals scored by David Craig early in the second half. Castle went further on front when Scott McReynolds scored then Mary King gave Mossley hope when he scored soon after this goal. Castle then sealed the win when Scott McReynolds scored his second goal in the game on the 82nd minute. Referee Mr. Billy Williamson
