Rearcross Youths 3 - Borrisoleigh 5

Rearcross Youths were at home to league leaders Borrisoleigh last Saturday and were somewhat unlucky to finish second best on a 5-3 score line, Ciaran Cowan gave Borrisoleigh the lead with a headed effort from a free kick ten minutes in, Rearcross recovered well and equalised five minutes later when Thomas Grace drove his seventh of the season to the back of the net from free kick. Rearcross went ahead shortly before the break when Michael O'Gorman took full advantage before slotting between the posts. Rearcross were luckless in the second half and conceded an own goal minutes after the restart to let the visitors back in to the game. Borrisoleigh regained the lead midway through the second half when Cian O'Mahoney got on the end of delivery from the right before side footing to the corner of the net. Gearoid Kent increased the Borrisoleigh advantage seven minutes later with a well struck effort from in front of goals, Paul Maher extended the lead in the 78th minute with a goal from out on the left. Reacross came back at Borrisoleigh and were unlucky in the end not to draw level, Thomas Grace's well free kick struck the woodwork in the 81st minute and then successive corners from Rearcross were cleared to safety before Paul Hogan pounced for a late goal with a well struck shot following a Seamus Feehan lay off.
