Bonagee retook the lead following a corner when Sergey Alcorn was alert to net but Ballyraine levelled once again when Desmond converted form the penalty spot on 62 minutes to make it 2-2.
The game was a fierce encounter and could have gone any way but it was Adam Carr who put Bonagee ahead for the third time through Adam Carr before late goals from Boyce and a well executed James Lenty Gallagher free kick saw Bonagee claim the three points.

Keadue Rovers remain unbeaten in this seasons Youth League as a strong second half display saw them justify favouritism against a stubborn Lagan Harps.
