Second win in two weeks for U15s
Coming into the match after gaining their first points of the season away to Dromore last week the young lads were confident of Victory if the attitude was right.
The locals were beginning to find their way into the match when disaster struck and Rathfriland were reduced to 10 with the keeper recieving his marching orders for a late challenge outside the box.

Rathfriland finally doubled their lead when McConnville combined well down the right hand side with Bailie and the latter squared for Byrne for a simple tap in to seal the points.
Lurgan pushed hard in the final ten minutes to get back into the match but the locals battled hard and held on for their second win in two weeks.
Next up to visit Iveagh Park are Seagoe U15 this Saturday with a 10.30 kickoff.
