All County Minor Football League (Division One)

                        St Mary’s Aghagallon 0-10 Erin’s Own Cargin 1-04

A late brace of points by Aaron Kerr and impressive mid-fielder Eoin Magennis gained the day and sealed victory for Aghagallon over their visitors from Cargin on Saturday afternoon.

The Toome lads after a slow start gained in confidence as the game progressed and with Jack Harney and Carl McCann getting a grip in the central zone, a 35^th minute Conleth Hamill goal saw them take the lead early in the second half.

The home side were strong in their response with Eoin Maginnis leading the way at mid-field and he replied to a Fiontan Hardy 48^th minute point to move the Lough Shore side into the lead.

The visitors may well have gained advantage in the 50^th minute as Fiontan Hardy sent replacement Sean Og Bovill in on goal but the latter’s effort was just off target with a defender getting the block on the shot.

With nothing separating the sides into the last phase a share of the spoils looked possible but with Eoin Magennis leading the way the home side finished on the front foot.

A 52^nd minute 40 metre free from full forward Sean Gowdy gave them the advantage and despite the best efforts of the visitors, the home defence stood strong.

Cargin, with Jack O’ Neill and Conleth Hamill leading the way were denied access to the posts in the closing stages as Aghagallon closed the door.

A late point from wing half back Adam Kerr put the home side two points clear and when Eoin Maginnis followed suit from a 45 metre free Aghagallon had opened a three point gap to cross the winning line three points clear.
