Moville Res 2
Illies Res 1
This was a close hard fought encounter between two even teams and the visitors will feel a little hard done by to leave empty handed. Illies started well and Caolan Whoriskey fired a free kick narrowly over before at the other end Kevin McDermott found himself in the clear but was denied by Graham Doherty. Midway through the half the visitors Joe McDaid unleashed an effort but Ryan Coyle held it well. The visitors then took the lead on 38 minutes when a long clearance released Adrian Donaghey Doherty and he calmly fired low past Coyle. After an even opening to the second period the home side got back on terms on the hour mark when after good work by Michael Gillespie he squared for Nathan Harkin to tap home. Illies replied with Whoriskey firing just wide from twenty yards while Kyle Harkin went similarily close with a twenty yards effort at the other end. Moville struck for the winner on 88 minutes when a Graeme Doherty cross was headed home from close range by McDermott.
