Division 2B
Tir na nOg 1-10 Belleek 1-7
Division 2B is going right down to the wire as Culloville, Tir na nOg and Belleek are all still in the promotion race.
All will be decided next weekend, but Tir na nOg took a massive step forward with their win over Belleek.
The home side trailed at the interval but turned the game around successfully during the second half.
Zion McKernan and Sean McCreesh (free) opened the scoring for both sides before Belleek shot ahead through Callum O’Neill (free) and James McParland.
The teams were matched score for score for the duration of the half. Marc Davidson (2) and Conor McCormac equalled scores from Gary Boyle, McCreesh and Fearghus Quinn.
That left the visiting side ahead by two at the break, 0-6 to 0-4. Belleek were reduced to 14 men six minutes after the turnaround and the hosts began to take control.
McCormac notched on two great scores to level the game, but McCreesh edged Belleek in front with their only point of the second half.
Davidson levelled before points from Joseph Hendron and a converted mark from Peter Wilson put Tir na nOg ahead.
Belleek shot in front again when Conor McKevitt punched the ball to the net after a scramble in the goalmouth.
The lead was short lived, however. On the next attack the hosts raised a green flag, with the last touch coming from a Belleek defender.
Tir na nOg added points from Wilson and midfielder Michael Burnett to secure a three-point victory.
Belleek were also out on Friday night when a Sean McCreesh goal earned them a share of the spoils against Clonmore. 0-12 to 1-9.
