Cappry’s Luke O’ Farrell had a free kick which went just over the bar. Drumoghill scored their third goal in the 42nd minute when Rafferty won the ball to score with a low shot to the bottom corner of the net.
Cappry put the pressure on in the second half in search of a goal but could find no way past the strong visitors defence. Cappry got a goal back in the seventy second minute when Conor Mc Bride scored following a corner. Cappry pushed looking for a second but to no avail.
Kildrum Tigers 0 Gweedore Celtic 0
Played under near perfect conditions at Station Road both teams battled out to share the spoils.
Gweedore started brighter and put Kildrum under a bit of pressure early on and nearly got in behind a couple times due to defensive errors. Kildrum started to come into the game after 15 minutes and started to put a couple of good phases together.
Kildrum made a switch after half time and pushed two men up front and started to get a lot of joy. They went close after 60 minutes through Mc Intyre and Cole. They had a great chance after 68 minutes when Crossan pulled back to Cole who rattled the crossbar from close range.
Kildrum had another easy chance when Lynch slipped in Brown who saw his shot saved by Mc Kelvey and Colhoun’s follow up was saved on the line by a defender. Kildrum thought they won it in injury time but a great effort by McKinney was saved again. Gweedore battled hard but never created chances and Kildrum will have to rue missed chances for the third game in a row.
