Carniny sides make midweek progress

The U10s did their title aspirations no harm when they comfortably won a six pointer against Bloomfield 8-1, the 12s got back on track as they travelled to Ards to win 5-2, the 13s won their local derby with a 2-1 win over Ballymena YA, and the 16s overturned their cup loss to SOPFC by beating them in the league 2-0, the U17s suffered a slight set back in their title challenge with a 1-1 draw with Bloomfield and the 14s suffered a loss against Ards, having knocked the North Down side out of the cup the previous Saturday.

A Zach Barr hat-trick for the under 15s and a brace apiece from Gordon Dillon and Eamon Fyffe from the under 17s and 12s respectively helped earn their sides maximum points in a tough weekend of fixtures as the season comes to a conclusion.

The 11s meanwhile went down by the odd goal in three to Glentoran as the 13s and 14s lost their ‘elite’ National League fixtures to Oxford United and Larne Youth. Finally the 16s lost a ding dong battle with top Belfast side Dungoyne by four goals to two.
