Raphoe feel the cost of impressive start to the season at Belfast Harlequins

INJURIES SUSTAINED BY Matthew Lecky and Simon Goudie slightly overshadowed Raphoe’s opening day win in the Ulster Premier League at Belfast Harlequins.

Belfast Harelquins 1-3 Raphoe

Lecky suffered a recurrence of an old collarbone injury, while Goudie may have to get an x-ray to determine a damage of an arm injury.

As that, Richard Eaton and Rodney Bates would’ve been delighted with the result, considering they lost to the same opponents at Deramore Park 3-2 in the Kirk Cup.

This afternoon, Lecky, Ben Wallace and Luke Witherow were goalscorers for Raphoe to set the Royal & Prior outfit off on the right foot for the campaign.

Raphoe welcome South Antrim next Saturday.

Raphoe: Jonny Rankin, Matthew Lecky, Simon Goudie, Alex Tinney, Alan Meehan, Ian McGonigle, Kit Regan, Keith Meehan, Ben Wallace, Luke Witherow, George Patterson, Paul Stewart, Stephen Cleverly, Alan Lyttle. Coaches Rodney Bates, Richard Eaton.
