Newry Celtic 2 Cartwheel United 3

Cartwheel caused the biggest upset of the weekend with their 3-2 victory over Newry Celtic in the AOH Cup. The Premier Division contenders who had just knocked rivals Cleary Celtic out of the Bessbrook Cup were hot favourites against their Division 1 opponents.

The match followed the script initially with Niall Devlin opening the scoring for Newry Celtic after two minutes. But Cartwheel replied 10 minutes later with the equaliser from Daniel Cumiskey.

The Celts were soon back in front again courtesy of Devlin though but there was no shaking Cartwheel who scored twice inside three minutes via Patrick Kelly and James Coyle to put them 3-2 in front and this time the Hoops had no answer with the Crossmaglen side claiming a well-earned victory.
