O’GORMAN CUP 1st ROUND

Clough Rangers Athletic 0, Dunloy 4: A decision on the 35th minute had a bearing on the result of this game when Dunloy were awarded a penalty and Clough had a player sent off. Both teams had a chance to score before a collision in the Clough penalty box left Benny McGarry with a clear shot to score from close range on the 20 minute. The penalty decision was then given and a sending off for a Clough player which was hotly disputed by Clough resulting in Benny McGarry scoring his second goal this time from the penalty spot. In the second half Clough had to chase the game with Dunloy making good use of the extra man and going on to score two more goals on the 66th and 75th minutes through Canal Higgins and Benny McGarry who completed his hat-trick. Referee Mr. Paul Douglas
