Results:

Intermediate Division

Ballycastle United 4 v 1 Kilbride Swifts

Kilbride who have started the season well with three wins took the lead after William Young scored on the 14th minute.

Ballycastle replied to this with a penalty converted by Sol Fox on the 54th minute then a hat-trick from Ronan Boyle on the 60th, 73rd and 85th minutes ensured full points for the home side. Referee Mr Hugh McElwee

Clough Rangers Athletic 0 v 1 Cookstown Olympic

This was a very close game between two evenly matched teams with no goals being scored in the first-half. The second half saw a similar pattern of play with the one chance being converted by Lee McCluskey to win the game for the visitors on the 81st minute.

Referee Mr John Lewis

Portglenone 1 v 4 Rasharkin United

This was the first derby game of the season between the two neighbouring teams and for the first 44 minutes there was nothing between the teams. As half-time was almost reached Karl Smith put Rasharkin ahead then on the 48th minute Lee Barr doubled this lead. Rasharkin got back in the game after Colin Craig scored on the 50th minute but two more goals scored by Karl Smith and Joe Patton on the 71st and 82nd minute sealed the win for Rasharkin. Referee Mr Kenny Bigger

FC Ballynure 0 v 6 Raceview

Brantwood 2 v 0 Desertmartin

Junior Division One

FC Larne 1 v 3 Finvoy

This was the first competitive game on the new 3g pitch at Seacourt in Larne and provided both teams with a good surface which they excelled on.

Finvoy took the lead after Michael Nicholl scored on the 30th minute but had to wait until the 65th minute before Ricky Dunlop scored their second goal. FC Larne got back into the game when Stefan McConnell converted a penalty on the 70th minute but a third goal for Finvoy scored by Chris McLean on the 85th minute killed off any hope Larne had. Referee Mr Trevor Higgins

Tobermore United Reserves 3 v 1 Ballymoney United Reserves

This was a very closely contested game with many good clear chances open to both teams during the ninety minutes. At the end it was goals scored by Sean Hennigan, William Hassan and Kris Magill to one scored by Andrei Kiskova that won the game for Tobermore. Referee Mr Mark O'Neil

Glebe Rangers Reserves 6 v 1 Magherafelt Sky Blues Reserves

Glebe had this game under their control from early on and went in at half-time leading through goals scored by Jackie Morrison, Owen Moody and two from Ryan Tannahill.
