Woodlands and Carrick YC are beaten

Junior 2 division side Woodlands went down 3-1 to visitors Cookstown Olympic. The home team’s cause was not aided when they had man sent off in the 25th minute and Cookstown scored with the resulting penalty.

Olympic had a two-goal cushion at the break and although Rocky Adair pulled one back for Woodlands and Olympic then had a man sent off, it was the Cookstown team who endured and increased the winning margin late on through Ricky McMenemy.

In Junior 3, Carrick Young Citizens were beaten 6-1 at home to Metro Young Men who, like Carrick are new boys in the league, and they were meeting for the first time.

An own goal followed by a strike by Dean Armstrong and two goals each from Craig Ferguson and Luke Walker to a goal scored by Ryan Best saw Metro collect all three points.
