Report
Redcastle United 5
Carrowmena FC 1
Redcastle went ahead on fifteen minutes when Cathal Crumlish collected a Kevin Toner cut back and placed the ball beyond Bredin into the left corner. Paul Mc Gowan made it two minutes later slotting past Bredin after being played through by Crumlish. On twenty seven minutes Brendan Murphy made it three when he beat the offside and finished neatly. Carrowmena were then reduced to ten men when Christy Mc Geoghan was shown a straight red for indiscipline. Carrowmena got one back when Dean Mc Geoghan was
upended and Conor Radcliffe converted from the spot. The home side hit back when Murphy laid off to Kevin Toner and he blasted past Bredin from just inside the box. The second half began with the home side on top and Robert Mc Laughlin tested Bredin with a low shot that the keeper blocked with anout stretched leg. Redcastle went further ahead when a move involving Toner and Mc Gowan set up Murphy who side footed home from just inside the box. Carrowmena responded and were denied by home keeper McCole who tipped a goal bound free kick from Radcliffe over the bar. The remainder of the game was largely uneventful and failed to produce any more goals as the home side eased to victory.
