Cockhill Celtic Youths 0
Buncrana Hearts 1
There were very few chances in this local derby played in difficult conditions for both teams. Cockhill had an early chance but Mark McDaid fired wide from the edge of the area.
On the half hour Buncrana spurned a good opening after the ball broke to Liam McCarron eight yards out but he fired straight at Liam McGonigle in the Cockhill goal. Defences remained on top for the remainder of the half. Buncrana dominated the second half and Kevin O’ Loughlin headed a Shane Dillon corner wide . The introduction of Kieran McDaid on 55 minutes gave the Hearts added impetus and a real attacking threat. On 59minutes he had an effort saved by McGonigle. They made the breakthrough then on 79 minutes when Darragh O Connor’s crossfield ball found McDaid who beat two defenders and squared to Gerard Mclaughlin to slot low to the corner from ten yards for a fine goal. Another mazy run by McDaid took him in on goal but somehow he failed to hit the target from six yards. McDaid was unlucky then to see a twenty yards free crash back off the post before the same player fired over the bar in the final chance of the game.
Glengad United 0
Carn FC 0
For the second time this season Glengad failed to find a way past a resolute Carn defence who battled superbly.The home side dominated the opening half but the visitors spurned a glorious chance of the stroke of half time. Glengad started well and on 6 minutes Stephen McLaughlin found Patrick McDermott on the edge of the area but he fired wide. The same duo combined again on 18minutes but McDermott unmarked failed to hit the target from six yards. McDermott then spurned a third chance when he fired over after a Finn McClure cross had broken to him on the edge of the area. They continued to create chances with Dillon Ruddy sending Terence Doherty clear but he also failed to hit the target. Doherty was then denied by a brilliant point blank save from Gerard Crossan after good work by Seamus Doherty had found him six yards out. Then Carn broke on the stroke of half time after Lorcan Bradley sent substitute Barry Fallon clear with a ball over the top and he lifted the ball over the advancing Daniel Mullarkey but saw it go agonisingly wide. Substitute Cathal McDaid then crossed to the unmarked McDermott at the back post but he fired tamely wide when he should have done better. Their final effort came from a Dillon Ruddy effort which also went narrowly wide but the Carn defence in the main stood firm and restricted the home side to earn a valuable point.
