Loughmacrory enjoyed a share of the spoils with Rock following this entertaining 0-8 to 0-8 draw. However it took a top class double save from goalkeeper Oisin O’Kane late in the game to ensure the Loch lads took something from the match. Rock forward Eamon Ward was denied what looked like a certain goal.
Martin Mc Creesh was the main man in terms of scores for the home side with 0-7. Four of these points came in the opening half and helped Rock reach the break leading 0-5 to 0-3.
The half time break allowed Loughmacrory to reorganise and they were much improved after the break. Points from Pauric Meenagh (2), Stevie Donaghy and Cathal Donaghy moved Loughmacrory one point clear but Rock refused to give up.
Mc Creesh converted two further frees to put Rock back in front before Meenagh landed his third free of the half to level the game.
Final Score: Rock 0-8, Loughmacrory 0-8.
Aghyaran got the better of their north Tyrone neighbours Castlederg winning 1-9 to 1-5 in their derby clash on Sunday. A huge crowd witnessed a competitive and hard fought game where Aghyaran’s greater experience proved decisive. Despite having a penalty brilliantly saved by Derg keeper Chrissy Catterson, Ronan Mc Hugh top scored for the winners with 1-3 while Ronan Mc Namee (0-2) was also on target for the winners. Worthy of special mention mind you was Aghyaran goalkeeper Benny Gallen who converted three long range frees for his team.Sean Meehan got the Derg’s goal while Mark Corry and Sean Harper shared the points on a day when John Harvey of the Derg was the standout man.
Gortin got their season back on track with a comfortable 1-10 to 0-5 win over a disappointing Cookstown side.
A low scoring first half saw Gortin reach the break 0-4 to 0-1 ahead with Eoghan Mc Garvey and Matthew Carberry on target for their respective sides. Carberry (3) and Brian Mulligan added second half points for the Fr Rocks but their lack of scoring threat told as the home side took over and won at a canter.
Eoghan Mc Garvey converted a penalty early in the second half and along with Brian Mc Garvey and Shane Clarke eased their team to victory.
Final Score: Gortin 1-10, Cookstown 0-5.
