This game on Thursday night saw the first game played on Mills Park opposite Caratra Park and league winners Moville ended their season with another success but were made to battle all the way by the home side.

Culdaff replied and opened the scoring on 20 minutes after Niall Gordon was upended inside the area and John G McLaughlin fired the spot kick past Michael Noone. Gordon then had another chance when he broke on the right but flashed a shot just past the far post. Moville equalized on the half hour when Conor Doherty blasted a penalty to the roof of the net after Oisin McGuinness was upended. The home side regained the lead with an excellent strike from twenty yards by PJ McDaid which found the bottom corner on the stroke of half time.Play swung from end to the end on the restart and the home side were unfortunate with an excellent Paul McLaughlin volley which crashed off the post . The visitors then got back on terms for the second time after a McNaught effort was superbly parried by McLaughlin but McGuinness was first to react to force the loose ball to the net. In the closing stages Moville pressed hard and got the winner after they were awarded a second penalty with McNaught firing home to give them all three points and finish their season in style.
