The youths who were missing two players due to illness went behind in the first minute due to some poor marking from a corner.

However the boys responded well but to be honest never really started to play like they could but managed an equaliser through Declan Logue from the penalty spot.

Limavady then took the lead thanks to Richard King who tapped in from close range after a great corner from Logue.

With 10 minutes to go in the second half a mix-up between keeper Caolan McDonald and defender Darryl Mullan allowed TOTHC to come back and equalise.

Worse was to follow for the visitors as McDonald was beaten far too easily at his near post as the home side regained the lead.

The youths struck back quickly however through Dessie Loughery as he headed home a pinpoint cross from Logue.
