RESULTS INTERMEDIATE DIVISION
BRANTWOOD 6-1 COOKSTOWN OLYMPIC
Brantwood were on the attack from the kick-off and raced into a two goals lead through goals scored by Matthew Armstrong on the 14th and 16th minutes.
After this the Olympic had to chase the game by committing men forward then on the 40th minute Fintan McCartney took advantage of this when he nipped through to score number three for the home side.
Brantwood increased their lead after Matthew Armstrong completed his hat-trick on the 54th minute but then saw Dean Stewart pull a goal back for the Olympic on the 57th minute. The Olympic then threw caution to the side in an effort to get a second goal but two more goals for Brantwood scored by Jonny Armstrong on the 66th and 78th minutes saw Brantwood safe with the points.

JUNIOR DIVISION ONE LEAGUE
GLEBE RANGERS RES 2-2 KILLYMOON RANGERS RES
This was a good competitive game from start to finish with Killymoon having the edge in the first-half and Glebe edging it in the second. Killymoon took the lead through a well taken goal scored by Leon Abraham on the 24th minute and then doubled their advantage after Stuart Donaghy scored on the 50th minute.
Glebe than got their attacking play going and got back in the game after Gareth Henry converted a penalty on the 61st minute.
With this goal Glebe continued on attack and got back on level terms on the 65th minute thanks to a superb goal scored by Neil McVicker from 25 yards.
After this Glebe went for the winning goal but Killymoon defending well were not going to be denied a point and at the end the draw was probably the correct result.
Referee Mr Wm McConaghie
