Strabane Sigersons 1-9
Eskra Emmett’s 0-8

Sigersons Senior footballers recorded a good win away to Eskra in the O’Neill’s Sportswear Tyrone All County League Division 2 with the hard working Aaron McLaughlin getting the only goal of the game in the dying minutes of the clash to seal the victory.

The sides were level at 0-3 apiece at the interval with John-Paul Gallagher scoring 0-2 for Strabane and John McLaughlin also adding a point. Joe McCarroll, Adrian Scullion and Rory Marlow were on target for the home side.

Eskra got the better of the early second half exchanges with Conor O’Hagan and Joe McCarroll landing points to send them into a two point lead.

Strabane battled strongly and were rewarded with points from Fergal McGavigan and Aaron McLaughlin to level matters and then points from a Fergal McGavigan free kick and Warner Mullen from play gave Sigersons the advantage. Paul Marlow who had come on as a substitute narrowed the deficit for Eskra but fine scores from John-Paul Gallagher and a long range free kick via Warner Mullen looked like steering them to victory.

However Eskra weren’t finished just yet and two points from free kicks through Conor O’Hagan narrowed the deficit to the bare minimum with time almost up but Strabane broke away and good work by Michael Etherson and Fergal McGavigan sent Aaron McLaughlin through to hammer the ball to the home sides net into injury time and ensure a deserved win for Sigersons.

The Strabane team and scorers were; James O’Reilly, Kieran O’Kane, Martin McNulty, Conor McLaughlin, Liam McGillian, Ciarán Friel, Aaron McLaughlin (1-1), Danny McBride and Martin Mongan, Paddy Roarty, John-Paul Gallagher (0-3), Michael Etherson, Fergal McGavigan (0-2), Warner Mullen (0-2), John McLaughlin (0-1).
