Castle Rangers 1

Crettyard United 4

The Laois side came out on top following this entertaining encounter in the Youth Centre on Sunday.

The visitors raced into the lead when Luke Phillips netted after eight minutes. They doubled their lead on 15 minutes this time John Dwyer added the finish after a good move. The same player capitalised on a defensive mix up to make it 3-0 just before the break.

The home side played much better in the second half and created a number of chances. They were finally rewarded for their efforts when Yona scored on 65 minutes. Crettyard withstood the pressure from Rangers and made the points safe with a fine solo effort from Luke Philips.

Best for the winners were Luke Phillips, Kyle Rich and John Dwyer while Michael McGrath and Jose Sousa stood out for Castle.
