In the Michelin Athletic Club-sponsored Intermediate League, Raceview hit double figures but there were heavy defeats for both Clough Rangers Athletic and Portglenone.

SYMPATHY

The deepest sympathy of everyone within the league is extended to the family of the young Dunloy player Matthew McFerran who tragically lost his life last weekend. The news of his death shocked everyone as Matthew had started off brilliantly for Dunloy and had a very promising future within the game.
