JUNIOR DIVISIONS LEAGUE GAMES

DIVISION ONE

BALLYMONEY UTD RES 5 BALLYNURE OLD BOYS ‘B’ 1

This result keeps Ballymoney hot on the heels of the division leaders Killymoon Rangers Res. David Graham shot Ballymoney into the lead on the 15th minute and as half-time approached David McCooke doubled the lead on the 35th minute. Ballymoney extended their lead after Gary Keys scored on the 55th minute but Ballynure hit back with Ryan Davey scoring on the 61st minute. Ballymoney then scored two more goals through Neil Fleming on the 65th and Mark Dempsey on the 75th minute to complete the scoring on the day. Referee Mr. Gusty Crawford

DIVISION TWO

FINVOY 6

RED STAR 2

This was a good win for Finvoy but certainly not a good day for Red Star who had a man sent off during play and another sent off after he was substituted. Finvoy took the lead after Steve McClenaghan scored on the 20th minute and then doubled their lead when Calum McCooke converted a penalty on the 35th minute. Finvoy then went four goals clear with a brace of goals scored by Robert Patton on the 56th and 62nd minute. Red Star came back into the game with goals scored by Glenn Williams and Noel O’Connor on the 68th and 72nd minutes but Finvoy replied with Robert Patton converting his hat-trick from the penalty spot on the 78th minute and Ryan Pedan on the 84th minute. Referee Mr. Ian Getty

CARNLOUGH SWIFTS 0 WOODLANDS 0

No goals were scored by either team in the first forty five minutes on a very heavy pitch which had worsened as the game progressed. At half-time the referee decided that the conditions were dangerous for the players to play football on and called a halt to the proceedings with the agreement of both captains. Referee Mr. Jason Reaney
