Welcome Inn Hotel Div 1
Killala 8 Inver United 1
An easy win over bottom side Inver Utd consilidated the home sides 5 point lead at the top of Div.1. An early wonder goal from Rory Gallagher his 18th of the season and a contender for one of his best, set the tone for this big win. Another Gallagher goal and one from Marc McDonnell gave the Killala lads a halftime lead of 3-0. Complaceny set in during the opening period of the second half and sloppy play by Killala allowed Inver back into the game and with one of their raids on the homeside goal the a shot from the angle of the box ended up in the side netting and amid claims from the Inver players the referee order a goal kick. From this Shane Whyte punt up the pitch Gallagher won the ball and outpaced the visitors defence to claim his hatrick or so he thought. as the kickoff by Inver was about to be taken the protests were still ongoing about the incident at the other end and Inver were claimimg a goal from that. The referee then decided to award the goal to Inver and chalk off the Killala goal, from 4-0 to 3-1 what a bizzare decision. This incident didnt knock Killala off their stride and Gallagher eventually registered his hat rick moments later. He grabbed a fourth and his 21st goal of the season with 15 minutes to play and further goals from Martin McLoughlin, Alan Murphy and Brendan Ryan completed the rout. Team : Sean McHale, Matt Webb, David Cadden, Oliver Clarke, Shane Whyte, Marc McDonnell, Ian O’Boyle, John Clarke, Alan Murphy, Rory Gallagher, Ronan Heffron, Subs Brendan Ryan & Martin McLouglin
