The village side continue to battle at the top end of the table in what has been an impressive season to date.

But even taking four points from a win over Craigs couldn’t see them cut the gap between themselves and runaway leaders First Ahoghill.

That’s because the champions also claimed four points from their trip to Killymurris Glarryford - a fixture which, not so many seasons ago, could have been a potential title decider.
