ACFL Div II Loughinisland - v - Carryduff
Despite missing a number of early opportunities from frees and open play in the first quarter of this tussle, Rory Mason's 7th minute conversion from a close free and a goal that involved the three O'Reilly brothers and saw Jamie finish to the Carryduff net, settled Loughinisland to exert control over the remainder of the game. A further point from Jonathan Flynnn extended their lead before Carryduff made any real impact up front. Points from Conall Early in the 16th (free), 17th and 24th minutes and a point from Jonny Henry (21st) brought Carryduff back into the game but they missed a few opportunities before the break as Conor McGoran pegged on another point to leave Loughinisland two points to the better on a 1-03 to 0-04 score-line at the break.
Carryduff missed a number of chances at the start of the second half and from there Loughinisland established a firmer grip on the game. Rory Mason pointed (32nd) and Carryduff keeper Lavery saved spectacularly at point blank range against Aidan Nixon, deflecting his pile driver over the bar. Substitutes Brendan Ward and Paddy McKinney contributed points in the 44th and 45th minutes and Mason added another from a free. Conor McGoran converted in the 54th and McKinney added again in the 58th minute.
A converted Conall Early free in the dying moments of the half was Carryduff's only return for the second half, leaving Loughinisland comfortable winners.

Castlewellan had opportunities to eat into Carryduff's lead but kicked a number of costly wides under pressure from an intense Carryduff defence.
