Owen Roes Pick Up League Cup Points
Clogher 3-4 Owen Roes 4-10
Buoyed by their recent Championship victory Owen Roes
seniors travelled to Clogher on Friday past in the Joe McGarrity league cup and
collected two points that all but puts them into the knock out stages of the
competition.
It was Clogher that struck first
though as they bagged an early major. The O’Neills struck back however with a
Declan McCrossan penalty. This was the prelude to an Owen Roes purple patch as
Aidan McCrossan (0-2), Chris Kelly, Kevin O’Donnell and Stephen Boyle found
range.
Clogher added a free, before minor
player O’Donnell doubled his tally. The host tagged on another point, before
Owen Roes keeper Dylan Early saw his careless pass intercepted and flicked to
the net to leave the Leckpatrick side ahead by the minimum at the break.
However the North Tyrone side hit
the ground running in the second period. Declan McCrossan pointed before sub
Mark O’Neill found the net. Aidan McCrossan put over the bar, before good work
Stephen Dooher allowed the corner forward in on goal for a third Owen Roes goal.
O’Donnell, and sub John Harper
pointed either side of a Clogher score before the hosts added a late 1-1.
Nonetheless Owen Roes were to have the final say and a Mark O’Neill 45 ended
in the net off the poaching Aidan McCrossan.
