CT Ball Division 2
Cranford FC 2, Eany Celtic FC 1
Cranford had good chances in the first half,but failed to get the lead. Eany made a great start to the second half with a fine long range effort, putting them 1 up.
Cranford drew level from a neat finish by Philip Buchanan, and then Brendan Giles sealed the win, with a good finish from close range.
Drumkeen United 1, Dunkineely Celtic FC 2
Dunkineely arrived in Drumkeen on Sunday knowing that only a victory would be enough to clinch the second automatic promotion place in CT Ball Division 2.
The visitors got the victory but Drumkeen did not make it easy for them and they had to fight right until the very end. Dunkineely started brightly and had a few early chances, they broke the deadlock on the 18th minute when Paul Murrin drove home a great shot to the corner of the net.
Drumkeen pressed hard for an equaliser and Dunkineely Goalkeeper Donal Murrin had to make several saves to keep Dunkineely’s lead intact at half time. It was a typically tight end to end Division 2 affair in the second half as the clock was ticking down.
Dunkineely still had only a slender lead but their nerves were eased towards the end of the match when a Daniel Gallagher cross into the box took a deflection off a Drumkeen defender and into the net to double their advantage.
The result was a bit harsh on the home team who battled hard throughout and maybe deserved something from the game.
The final whistle brought delight for the visitors who are now promoted to Division 1 for next season. D
rumkeen will finish off their season with a home game against Eany Celtic next week and they can finish 5th in the League regardless of that result on goal difference.
Glencar Inn Saturday Division
Dunlewey Celtic1, Orchard FC 2
The last game of the season saw the visitors coming away with a well fought three points.
The game started well for Orchard when they took the lead through Peoples when he knocked home an easy tap in.
This didn’t affect the home side who got back on level terms when a Daniel Gallagher cross found Paul Coll to head home. The second half was nip and tuck with Ciaran Boyce and Ruairi White playing well in the back line but they came unstuck when Sean Sweeney turned well in the box to knock pass Hugo Cannon in the Dunlewey goals.
Cannon kept the home side in it with a couple of saves as Orchard looked to kill off the game the home side did push hard for a goal and came close with John Cannon, Manus Cannon and Brendan McGeady all coming close. Best for Dunlewey were Paul Coll, Lorcan Gallagher, Ciaran Boyce and Ruairi White. Best for Orchard was Sean Swenney.

Donegal rallied though and equalised through Ben Sweeney after 15 minutes. David Ted Bustard then put Donegal 2-1 ahead after some loose defending from the Milford defence.
With Milford pushing for an equaliser in the second half they were caught on the break with Shaun Hegarty finishing well after a good run.
Ryan Hegarty made it 4-1 with a good header from a free kick. Ryan Campbell pulled one back for Milford with a tidy finish but they couldn’t find any more goals.
