Aghagallon overturned a five-point half-time deficit to claim a deserved four-point win over Glenravel, thanks to a clinically efficient second-half scoring display.

Glenravel dominated the opening period, with goals from Shea O’Broin, Colla Ward and Eamon Fyfe putting them in control at 3-3 to 0-7 at the break.

The visitors’ response after the interval was emphatic. John Hannon led the scoring with a return of eight points, while Eoin Brankin added three points and debutant, Aidan Brady struck Aghagallon’s crucial goal.

Further scores from Enda McCartan, Ciaran Maginnis and others kept Aghagallon’s momentum going, while goalkeeper Luke Mulholland contributed two vital, two-point frees to accelerate the comeback.

Aghagallon outscored Glenravel by 1-11 to 0-4 after the break, turning the game decisively in their favour and seeing it out comfortably in the closing stages.

Glenravel’s early goal burst ultimately proved in vain, as Aghagallon’s greater spread of second-half scorers carried them to an impressive away victory.
