Carnlough are too Swift for Finvoy
Brantwood moved into second spot in the Intermediate Table after a good away win over FC Ballynure on Saturday which has set up the title run-in between Newtowne, Brantwood and Raceview to fight it out for the title. Newtowne at present are in pole position but there could be some changes before the tile is won or lost.
In Junior Division One it appears to be Killymoon Rangers Res and Ballymoney United Reserves that will fight it out for the title and in Division Two Cookstown Olympic and 3rd Ballyclare Old Boys are in a similar position.

Chances had been created at both ends before Conor Reid scored to put Ballymoney into the lead on the 20th minute. After this chances came and went and both keepers were kept busy but at the end the single goal decided the result.
