Lisburn Rangers Youth

Lisburn Rangers Youth U13’s reached the final of the Lisburn League Shield with an outstanding performance against Windmill at Stanley Park.

This game went in one direction from the starting whistle and it wasn’t long before Kurtis Gillespie opened the account from a Lee Hutton corner.

Lee got one of his own when he was brought down in the box and slotted home from the spot 2-0. The boys remained in total control with Windmill creating only a half chance that found the side netting, Josh McMaster added a third with a deflected shot and the half ended with a well deserved 3-0 lead.

Any hope of a comeback was ended when Josh McMaster added his second through sheer determination after good work

​from Callum Parker.

Lee Hutton made it 5-0 before Thomas Burns curled a shot from the edge of the box only to be denied by the post. Lee made it 6-0 with his third of the game adding to an impressive goal tally for the season and that’s how the game ended.

This was a total team performance from a group of talented individuals working as a unit, it was a joy to watch.

Derriaghy CC FC

Derriaghy CC FC progressed to the next round of the Intermediate Cup with a 3-2 win over Championship 2 side Wakehurst FC last weekend.

Goals from Jordan Baker (2) and Marty Verner saw them through.

Meanwhile, the Unltd Player of the Month was unable to be decided and was therefore shared between two deserving winners in David Wilson and Ryan McNaul.
