Cormacstown 'B' 2 - Rearcross 'B' 3

Rearcross 'B' were the visitors to Cormacstown 'B' for this top of the table clash and came through by the narrowest of margins by the odd goal in five, the early exchanges were evenly exchanged, however it was the home side who went ahead on the twenty five minute mark with a Thpmas Dwan goal from the penalty spot, this set back seemed to spur on a Rearcross side who were back in the game shortly before the break when Thomas Kennedy's pile driver from thirty five yards troubled the Cormacstown custodian, Eamon Devitt was quick to react and tucked the ball away to leave the sides level at the half way stage. Rearcross were on top at the start of the second half and were unlucky not to edge ahead with successive efforts on target, the home side were then awarded a penalty against the run of play, Simon Kennedy was more than equal to the effort and saved with aplomb. It was all to play for at this stage with chances falling to both sides, Rearcross then grabbed a vital goal when an Anthony Ryan free kick was floated in to the danger area where Val Kennedy rose highest to glance a firm header past the Cormacstown custodian. Rearcross kept the pressure on and went further ahead with seven minutes remaining when Anthony Ryan got his name on the score sheet with a delightful shot that dipped to the top left hand corner, the home side didn't throw in the towel and pulled a goal back through John Tierney with three minutes remaining to leave the opposition with a few anxious moments towards the end, however the Rearcross effort was resolute and the points were secured.
