WITH THE OSCAR TRAYNOR CUP taking centre stage over the weekend, there were only a couple of fixtures in the CT Ball Division Two.
Deele Harps 5-2 Copany Rovers 2
Deele welcomed Copany to The Athletic Grounds on Sunday and the home side took all three points to maintain their push for promotion with Shane Gallagher scoring a hat-trick.
In difficult pitch conditions Deele settled best and were pressing well but lacking the final pass to break down the Copany defence. It was 29 minutes before the deadlock was broken when talisman Shane Gallagher tapped home following good work from Kevy McBrearty.
The second half began with Deele pressing but against the run of play Copany equalised on 55 minutes. A long punt forward from the Copany keeper was misjudged by two Deele defenders and Gary Mc Groary finished well.
Deele rallied again and regained the lead on 68 minutes when Shane Gallagher wriggled free on the right and centred for Kieran McGowan who rifled home to the roof of the net.
On 72 minutes Shane Gallagher was played in by Barry Curran and Gallagher made no mistake firing low past the keeper. The game was over as a contest on 79 minutes when Shane Gallagher completed his hat-trick.
Left back Paul Lynch pressed high and poked the ball through to Gallagher who finished clinically. Goal five came on 85 minutes when the impressive Paul Lynch rampaged through from left back and played a one-two with Kevy Mc Brearty then a one-two with Shane Gallagher before firing home through the keeper’s legs.
Copany grabbed another goal on 90 minutes when Deele lost possession on half way and Paul Patton scored a cracker from 20 yards. Team Performances.

CT Ball Division Two
Erne Wanderers 1-1 Glenree United
Deele Harps 5-2 Copany Rovers
Erne Wanderers 1-1 Glenree United
Erne Wanderers hosted Glenree United on Sunday and the hosts were left scratching their heads at how Glenree stole a point in the 92nd minute.
Erne played against the elements in the first half and controlled the game creating a couple of chances. Glenree struggled to get near O’Brien’s goal and it stayed deadlocked until half-time.
The second half was all Erne and how they didn’t score until the seventy ninth minute will remain a mystery as Ballyshannon man John Cunningham kept everything out that was threw at him until Michael Ward tapped home from six yards when Cunningham could only parry Phillip Patton’s shot into ward’s path. They thought they saw the game out when they cleared a free kick.
Glenree however sneaked in at the back post to equalise with a fine finish from Patrick McGroddy from a narrow angle.
