The U12s paid for conceding early goals against Ballymena United in their shield match. Elsewhere the U13s, U14s and U15s failed to win in the Lisburn league.

In the North West and Coleraine District Youth League, both U10 teams were in action, recording good results against Maiden City and Limavady Colts. Brian Martin’s U12s couldn’t repeat their good performance from last week when they lost to Moyola Park.
