Aghyaran lost their first home game of the year so far when visitors Gortin took both points thanks to a seven point victory. Kevin McCullagh kicked six points for Gortin who were much the superior team throughout the sixty minutes. Diarmuid McNulty got the only goal of the game for the St Patrick’s side. Aghyaran were very reliant on the accuracy of the Aidan Connolly who finished the game with 0-6. Final Score – Aghyaran 0-10 Gortin 1-14

Perhaps the surprise result of the afternoon was the victory of Derrytresk over Kildress.  The Wolfe Tones were in front with less than ten minutes to go but ‘the men from the hill’ pushed hard in the closing stages of the game to move into fourth place in All County League Division 2.  Colm Loughran, Des Treacy and Frank McGurk were among the points scorers today for Kildress.  Derrytresk have Joe McKee and Caolan Corr to thank for eleven of their points and Conor O’Neill who picked up the winning point.  Final Score – Derrytresk 0-13 Kildress 1-9

Edendork are back to winning ways after recording a two point win over Urney at home.  Conor Mallon and Lorcan McGrath got the goals for the St Malachy’s while the Urney major came from Stephen Lafferty.  PJ McMenamin scored two points for Urney and substitute Jamie McAleer scored three points for Urney.  However Edendork hung on for the victory thanks to points from Ciaran O’Connor and Brian O’Rourke.  Final Score – Edendork 2-10 Urney 1-11

The late throw in game this evening saw Dungannon Clarkes get a hard earned maiden win over highly rated Eskra. Three first half goals proved the key scores with two coming from Kiefer Morgan and the other from Connor Mc Ginn. Indeed Morgan finished the game with 2-4 to his name as those goals helped put the Clarkes in a strong position in the opening period. The home side led 3-6 to 0-9 at the break and in spite of going down to fourteen men late in the second half they held on to win 3-10 to 1-13. Adam Mallon made a significant contribution to the win with six fine points for Dungannon as they registered their first victory of the season. Niall Marlow got the goal for the Emmetts with Peter Hughes, Joe McCarroll, Aaron Kelly and Ruairi Marlow all contributing points
