LEAGUE

Dunloy 5 v 0 FC Ballynure

For the first 40 minutes of this game the result could have gone anyway as both teams had not been able to find the back of the net then with half-time approaching fast Benny McGarry broke on the 41st minute to put Dunloy in front.

Dunloy then went two in front through a headed goal from Tony McCluskey on the 52nd minute and added to this when John John McFerran scored on the 55th minute.

Ballynure tried hard to get back into the game but two more goals scored by Jamie McFerran on the 75th minute and Steven Dooey on the 80th minute killed off any hope they had. Referee Mr. High McIlwee

Ballymoney went in front again after Mark Gillan scored on the 85th minute and appeared to have won the game but a 25 yard free kick converted by Gary Workman on the 90th minute saw Larne take a point for their efforts.
