Moyola U16’s travelled to Dungannon to take on Enniskillen Rangers. The game started at a hectic paced with Moyola on the front foot from the kick-off. Downey bravely won a header just inside Rangers’ half to send the ball back into the penalty area. Glass controlled the ball, flicked it up to turn quickly and volley the ball past the surprised keeper. Enniskillen levelled minutes later as their striker slotted home.

Against the run of play Enniskillen took the lead. Cassidy saved the initial shot one-on-one with the forward but could do little as the loose ball was poked wide of him into to corner of the net.

Flanagan won the ball back in the Enniskillen half, broke into space in front of the goal mouth and then unleashed a powerful drive past the diving keeper low in the left-hand corner for the equalise.

McKee won the ball in the left full-back position and played a beautiful ball to the left wing. Glass’ cross was met by the head of Flanagan to give Moyola the deserved hard fought victory in this intriguing encounter between two good sides.
