Enniskillen converted a penalty with 10 minutes left to play to claw one back.

Banbridge didn’t lessen their efforts, and got a sixth goal right at the death when Sam McCallister looked to play a short corner before faking and whipping in a corner onto the head of Jake Laffin who directed it goalwards.

This week’s man of the match of the match was captain Jake Laffin for a spectacular display of leadership and drive while producing a technically faultless performance.

Everyone would like to extend their wishes to Liam Farrell for a speedy recovery.
