Carniny enjoy Lemon-aid!

A CORMAC Lemon goal for the under 10s helped his side leap frog fellow title contenders Ballymena YA in the race for league honours with a 1-0 win over Rosario as under 17s captain Ryan McCartney scored a terrific goal to help earn his side a 2-2 draw against Ballymacash to keep them also in a challenging position.

The 15s continue to climb up the table also with a fine 2-0 win over Carrick Rangers in the 'elite' National League as the 16s also won by two clear goals over Carryduff and the 11s put seven past Ballynahinch without reply in the cup. On a down note the 14s came away with nothing following a long journey to the Maiden City whilst the 13s took the lead against Crumlin but went down eventually 3-1 in this National League Cup tie. The senior side meanwhile recorded a 5-0 win over table topping Ballymoney United Reserves to keep their title ambitions intact.
