DDL Round Up | Premier & First Division

Fastfix Brian McConville Cup

Rock Celtic 0-5 St. Dominics

Venue: Sandy Lane. Date: 6.8.24.

Having only met a week previous with Rock recorded their first league win by a 3-1 scoreline, St.Dominics exacted revenge with a 5-0 cruise into the next round. Three headed goals in the first half, one as early as the 3rd minute finished the tie as a contest.

Colm Bracken opened the scoring, followed by Greg Shannon 10 minutes later, who was netting his 4th goal, a long way from his 31 strikes last season. Steven Hutchinson with a late goal sent the Saints in with a 3-0 halftime lead.

Rock's resistance was vastly improved in the second period and it took until the 65th minute for Hutchinson to get his second goal in the goalmouth scramble. 

The final score came in the 84th minute, another mix-up in the Rock defence being punished by Colm Bracken. St. Dominics will now meet the winners of the Rampart Celtic v Shamrocks tie in the quarter-finals.

DDL Fyffes Division One

Faughart Rovers 0-5 Carrick Rovers

Venue: Lumpers. Date: 7.8.24.

Carrick came and conquered Faughart at the Lumpers thanks in the main part to a Daniel McDonald hat trick. After just 5 minutes Augustus Lupri struck to put the visitors ahead.

It took until the 37th minute for McDonald to open his account with a low shot past the wrong-footed keeper. Two minutes later he swept in to accept a glorious chance in front of an open goal to put Carrick 3-0 ahead at the break.

A more determined home side pinned Carrick back for the opening 20 minutes of the second half until a Cathal Connolly fortunate lob beat the gallant home keeper to make it 4-0.

In the 78th minute, Daniel McDonald completed his hat trick with a low drive from close range and the scoring in an enjoyable match despite the one-sided scoreline. This win moved Carrick onto 17 points in the league table.

Carlingford Celtic 7-0 Square United

Venue: Foy Centre. Date: 7.8.24.

Carlingford moved within 3 points below leaders Bellurgan United, and this was their biggest league win of the season. Peter Shields led the way with a brace that took his total to 13 this term. Coran Lindsay also bagged a brace to make six for the season so far.

Quinn Ryan, Eamon Sheeling, and Joe Dunne all got on the scoresheet, and Dunne got his 10th of the season. The battle for the First Division title is really hotting up.
