Cappagh lost out to a late goal in tonight’s match with Dromore on a scoreline of 4-5 to 2-14. Both teams produced some fast open and attractive football with Tiernan Cox hitting two goals and three points with Ruairi Lyttle also finding the net for the home side. Dromore led by two at the break 0-8 to 1-3 and with the sides level late in the game they stole the two points with a last gasp goal from Ronan McNabb who finished the game with 2-4 to his name. Ruairi Sludden was also to the fore for the St.Dympnas in the scoring stakes weighing in with half a dozen points.

Owen Roes collected both points in tonight’s minor league game against Greencastle despite an under par showing by the North Tyrone side. Greencastle raced into a 0-4 to 0-2 lead with scores from Christopher Gillen, Daniel Tuohey, Kevin Conway and Shane Mc Guigan, Ronan McNulty and Ricky Devine pointing for the home side.

McNulty and Michael Dooher levelled things up for Owen Roes, before Cathal McShane, Ryan McAleer and Seamus Dooher sent the Leckpatrick side into the lead. Gillen hit a late free to leave two in it at the break.

Dooher, Ricky Devine and McShane got early second half scores with a sole Peter McKenna free for the St.Patricks. McKenna notched another free but the home side were now well on top. Charles O’Doherty, and Stephen Harper got on the scoreboard, as Gillen replied for the visitors.

However wing back Connor Donaghey steamed forward for Owen Roes to become their 9th scorer of the evening, and further scores by O’Doherty, McShane, and Harper sealed the deal for Owen Roes with McKenna adding to the Greencastle tally. Indeed the away side’s late push for a goal could have paid off but Owen Roes keeper Michael Mullen made a pair of decent saves in injury time as the game came to a conclusion with Owen Roes victors 0-16 to 0-9. Best for Owen Roes: Seamus Dooher, Aaron Boggs, Michael Mullan and Kevin Kelly.
