Gaels hit back
Mattock Rangers were at home to Dundalk Gaels and looked to be in line for a valuable win when they increased their half-time lead to five points. But Gaels got back to within three points, and with the game in injury time, Derek Crilly, bagged his side’s third goal to make it a draw. It finished 2-16 to 3-13, Mattock’s two goals — and one of Gaels’ — coming from the penalty spot.
In other relegation battles, O’Rahilly’s beat Naomh Mairtin, and O’Connell’s edged Dreadnots, 0-15 to 0-13. At the other end of the table, second-placed Kilkerley Emmets followed their championship drubbing of the previous week by going down to Cooley Kickhams, and now face a major battle to qualify for one of the four semi-final spots.
