INTERMEDIATE DIVISION LEAGUE
Cookstown Olympic 3
Clough Rangers Athletic 4
Clough got off to a quick start in this game with Ross Steele scoring their first goal on the 10th minute.
The Olympic soon got back on level terms when Clough concede a penalty on the 15th minute which saw Gary Maguire convert from the spot. Clough continued to have the better of the attacking play for a time and a penalty scored by Ross Steele on the 20th minute saw them back in front.
A brace of goals from Ross Steele on the 43rd and 55th minutes saw him take his tally to four in the game. The Olympic were by no means out of the game and a goal scored by Gary Maguire on the 65th followed by another scored by Barry Hughes on the 70th minute saw them in with a great chance to save the game. After this it was nip and tuck but Clough held on for the win.Referee Mr Gerry Clucas.

Ballymoney had it all to do after this but goals from Tyler Norwood and Matthew O’Flaherty on the 70th and 80th minute killed off any hope Ballymoney had.Referee Mr Ian Getty
