ARRANMORE UNITED continued their rich vein of form this season with a comprehensive win over Drumkeen United.
Old Orchard Division One
Arranmore United 4-0 Drumkeen United
Arranmore United took the points from this windy encounter in the island.
The game started with Drumkeen having more of the ball with the wind to their backs. They came close once or twice with John Greene doing well to save one long range shot which seemed to move all over the place.
The breakthrough came when Gavin Mc Glanaghey found space in the area and following a brilliant cross he powered a header which via the keeper’s hand and crossbar to the back of the net. Arranmore came out with plenty of intent for the second half but could have been pegged back as Peter McNamee almost got in to score.
This served a warning and Arran duly got number two when Greene kicked long and McGlanaghey controlled brilliantly before placing the ball in the top corner with a brilliant finish.
Drumkeen lost a man midway through the half when Mc Namee was sent off. Two  became three on 72 minutes as Conor Proctor brilliantly found the top corner with a left footed strike. Drumkeen continued to work with John Rodgers playing well in central defence but Conor Proctor found space again following a good through ball from Marty Proctor and his effort was parried to the feet of Chris McGlanaghey, who hammered home.
