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.

The home side started brightly after the interval with Kyle Harkin having a shot saved by Clarke. However, despite Aileach putting Moville under some pressure, it was the home side who moved further in front mid way through the half when a James Gillen free kick was headed home at the back post by the evergreen Graeme Doherty. The third goal arrived after 81 minutes after a forward ball was controlled by Kyle Harkin and he finished low to the bottom corner. The scoreline was complete right on the final whistle when Indyka’s shot from 20 yards found the top corner.
