Coleraine 3-11 Dungiven 1-8

EOGHAN Rua made it two wins with a 3-11 to 1-8 win over Dungiven.  Most of the damage was done in the first half, indeed in the opening quarter when the home side swept into a 2-4 to 0-1 lead before going on to take a 2-7 to 0-1 advantage into the break.

Richard Carey played Colm McGoldrick for a second minute goal.  The second goal came in the 11th minute, again Carey was involved.   He was hauled down by ‘keeper Sean McNicholl who was black carded.  McGoldrick slotted past replacement ‘keeper Kevin Farren.

After the break Dungiven hit straight back with a superb goal from Feargal Higgins who cut inside from the left before drilling a fierce shot to the corner of the Coleraine net. The home side did not wait long to hit back, just a couple of minutes later came their third goal. Niall Holly burst through the middle before firing a low drive to the far corner of the Dungiven net to seal the victory.
