Conn Rangers 1 Killala 2
Killala travelled to Mount Falcon to play newly promoted Conn Rangers in the first local derby of the season. In a fircly contested first half it was the visitors who did the early running and were nearly rewarded when an Eamon Knox header shook the cross bar after 10mins. Kevin Whyte drew first blood when his free kick found the net after 20 mins.The tight pitch meant that this game was fought in the middle third and the lack of clear cut chance by either side meant the score remained in Killala’s favour at half time. In an often bad tempered and robust second half Conn Rangers drew level midway through the second half but it was the visitors who finished stronger forcing their opponents to play on the counter attack and when Ollie Clarke won the penalty in the last ten minutes the home side were reduced to 10 men and Rory Gallagher dispatched successfully for a worthy winner. Team: Sean McHale, David Cadden, Matt Webb, Eamon Knox, Aidan Ferguson, Kevin Whyte, Marc McDonnell, Ian O’Boyle, John Clarke, Johnny McNulty , Rory Gallagher Subs Alan Murphy , Ollie Clarke
