Rampart Celtic 3-3 Bellurgan United

Venue: Muirhevnamor Astro. Date: 14.8.24.

It was the result each team did not want, as it practically opened the way for Carlingford to clinch the First Division title by winning their two remaining games, after they beat Faughart 6-0 in the Foy Centre.

It was a game that swung each way throughout a thrilling 90 minutes. Paul Kloda of Rampart opened the scoring with a bullet like shot from inside the penalty area with just 3 minutes played.

On 18 minutes the Bellurgan keeper allowed a weak Aidan McGuinness shot squirm under his body, despite great efforts to retrieve the ball. John Smyth with a close range effort made it 2-1 with 21 minutes gone. Caelon Sharkey levelled matters with a low shot on the half hour mark.

A superb header from Aaron Farron, his first goal this term put Bellurgan 3-2 ahead at the break. Six minutes into the second half Rampart were awarded a penalty, which Aidan McGuinness sent wide.

Despite the miss Rampart took control of the match and finally equalised with a close range effort from Lee Wright with 20 minutes remaining. Shane O’Brian was introduced to the action and his skills and running helped Bellurgan take control of the match.

But the elusive winner never materialised from Paddy Gills charges. A game both teams can take pride in, for delivering a first class game.

Carlingford Celtic 6-0 Faughart Rovers

Venue: Foy Centre. Date: 31.7.24.

After knocking Faughart out of the McConville Cup on a 6-0 scoreline last week, they repeated another 6-0 drubbing to the men from the Lumpers in a vital League game.

Richie McGee with a brace along with Peter Sheilds two, which took him to 15 goals for the season, sealed the win. Coran Lindsay with his 8th goal and Declan Sheelan with his third completed the rout. If the ‘Ford win their two remaining games they cannot be caught.
