Kilroot Rec 5 v 4 Queens II
@ Beltoy,
A more than useful Queens II team gave Kilroot an early fright @ beltoy taking a deserved lead on 20 minutes with a hesitant rearguard being punished by Ryan Murphy 0-1.
Kilroot levelled against the run of play when Rob Armstrong headed in a David Kidd cross on 33 minutes 1-1.
Ryan Murphy scored his second goal from the spot when Kilroot’s Jamie Sterling was adjudged to have dragged a player back time 35 minutes 1-2.
Jamie Sterling was replaced by out of favour Rab McKee at half time that steadied up the ship.
Queens Mickey McCready scored number three for dominant visitors on 60 minutes 1-3.
A inspired substitution by manager Paul Hanna bringing on captain David Gibb to replace the out of form Andrew Benson on 61 minutes had an instant effect on the game .
Kilroot’s Rambo, Andrew Dummigan reducing the arrears with a 22 yard half volley on 62 minutes 2-3.
Sub David Gibb equalised with a stunning overhead kick assisted by Johnny McFetridge and David Kidd 3-3.
Joel Lough put Kilroot in front dinking the ball over the visiting keepers head from a Rab McKee free kick 4-3
Joel Lough got his second goal and Kilroot’s fifth from a free kick after David Gibb had been fouled 5-3.
Gary McGahon replaced Johnny McFetridge on 80 minutes.
Queens Mickey McCready pulled another goal back from a free kick 22 yards out 5-4.
Kilroot held on to win a very entertaining game and stay at the top of Division 2 A

Kilroot Rec II 3 v 0 Wesley II
@ Beltoy
Kilroot seconds raced into a two goal lead on 25 minutes Jamie Wright and Wallace Nelson being the scorers 2-0.
Wesley seconds weren’t putting up much opposition and Kilroot went into lax mode which didn’t make for a good game.
Second half was similar to the first lack lust with only one winner on show.
Manager Colin McElnea attempted to inject some new blood to the fore with Darren Todd, Phillip Meek and Ricky Johnston replacing Trevor Cole, Wesley Steele and Gordon Ross.
Sub Phillip Meek rattled in Kilroot’s third goal with five minutes remaining to seal a comfortable victory and keep the promotion push on full steam.
Kilroot team,
Dean Hagan, Graham McCann, Chris Blainey, John Smiley, Wesley Steele (Phillip Meek) Gordon Ross (Ricky Johnston)
Trevor Cole (Darren Todd) Ben Harvey, Jordan Cooper, Jamie Wright and Wallace Nelson
