Joshua Ingram continued his impressive run of goals with his 11th of the season with a great run and high rising shot in to the top corner to give the visitors the lead.

The home side were physical and both sides were forgiven by the referee for hefty challenges with Ballymacash going on to score three on the trot in the second period to finish with a 3-1 scoreline.

Caolan takes down Lurgan defence

Rathfriland Swifts hosted Lurgan Town on Saturday running out 8- 2 winners in an impressive home win at Ingram Park in the Reserve Division 2.

The home side raced into a 5-0 first half lead with the impressive Caolan Teer helping himself to a super hat trick within the first twenty minutes with both Conan Power and Jerome Travers also getting in on the act. 
The visitors steadied somewhat with a goal from open play and then a penalty but more was to come in the second period with that man Teer getting two more before Ben Johnston also got in on the scoring act to leave the final score at 8-2 to Rathfriland.

Rangers first home league game in weeks

Rathfriland Rangers this Saturday will host their first league game in eight weeks when they lock horns with Drumaness Mills at Iveagh Park.

Rathfriland’s run of form in the cups has resulted in a back log of league games but a Border Cup Final place is the current reward for that.

The visitors though picked up their first league win of the season against title contenders Immaculata on Saturday with a 4-1 away win. Kick off 2pm.
