Portglenone 1, Clough Rangers Athletic 6: During the first-half Clough overcame the elements a bit better than Portglenone and went in at half-time two up courtesy of goals scored by Ross Steele.

Ross Steele then completed his hat-trick on the 64th minute followed by a sixth goal for Clough after Ricky Reid converted a penalty on the 70th minute.

JUNIOR DIVISION ONE

FC Larne 1, Chimney Corner Reserves 2: With the ball bobbing around in the swirling wind it caused havoc particularly in the penalty boxes and resulted in four penalty kicks being awarded during the game.

Chances had been there for both teams before the first penalty on the 21st minute which Robbie Lucas converted to put the Corner in front.

This goal separated the teams until Gareth McConnell converted a penalty for Larne on the 65th minute and a draw was on the cards until Robbie Lucas converted a second penalty for the Corner on the 85th minute.

Straight after this Larne had a penalty on the 86th minute but Paddy McKeown in the Corner goals made an excellent save to deny Larne a point.
