Tully Cup round three
Bellurgan United 2-0 Ardee Celtic
Bellurgan United remain in the Tully Cup hunt following Sunday morning’s victory over youthful Ardee Celtic at Flynn Park.
Fielding five 16-year-olds, Ardee were under the cosh for the encounter as Bellurgan maintained their strong recent form, taking the lead through Owen Armstrong’s super strike after just 30 seconds - it was the climax of a fine passing move straight from the kick-off.
The hosts continued to pepper Ardee’s impressive ’keeper Hugh Murphy with efforts, doubling their advantage on 20 minutes through Ciarán Sheelan.
