Results

Intermediate League

Clough Rangers Athletic 1 v 6 Raceview

After a bright start to the game Clough fell behind after Bobby Hanna scored for Raceview on the 17th minute. After this the game became the David Tennant show with him scoring on the 19th and 40th minute putting Raceview three goals clear at half-time.

The second half saw David Tennant score another three goals on the 51st, 58th and 68th minutes to bring his tally to five in the game. Clough to their credit never gave up getting a consolation goal when Ricky Reid scored on the 71st minute.Referee Mr Ivan South

Kilbride Swifts 2 v 1 Rasharkin United

This was a must win game for both teams in their quest for the league title this season and with three goals in the first twenty three minute a goal feast was expected buy unfortunately the defences had other ideas by shutting up shop early. The first goal in the game saw Brian Miskimmin put Kilbride in front on the 11th minute but this lead was short lived as Josie Nicholl scored the equaliser on the 14th minute. Kilbride took the lead for a second time through a fine goal scored by Michael McNeill on the 23rd goal and much to the disappointment of the spectators was the last goal in a very good competitive game.Referee Mr Jim Holden
