7pm The Black Swans V Team Lightning
It was a fairly cagey start to the game with both teams evenly matched and failing to create any notable chances in the first 20 mins
Lightning had a decent chance to open the scoring on 24 mins when an inviting corner from Craig Reddan was just inches away from connecting with the head of the in rushing Damien Collins
HT 0-0
After 15 mins of the second half this one looked like it had all the makings of a nil all draw with both keepers, Ed Doyle and Dean Lillis, proving equal to what the opposition had to offer
Lightning were given the chance to take the lead on 48 mins from the penalty spot with the responsibility falling to Aidan Hurley. Once again Ed Doyle proved himself up to the task as he dove well to his left to deny Lightning the lead.
Incredibly just two mins later it was the Swans turn from the spot. This time however, Liam Danaher made no mistake and fired them into the lead
That goal was to be the difference as the Black Swans managed to secure the 3 points
FT 1-0 The Black Swans

Not long after they found themselves in front after an inviting corner was well met and headed into the bottom corner of the Mulcair net
Wembledines would have been two up if it hadn’t have been for some excellent goalkeeping from the Mulcair keeper who was on hand when the Wembledines Attacker came through 1 on 1 on 22 mins
Mulcair were level after 25 minutes when a rolling ball across the edge of the box was fired into the bottom corner
Seconds before the half time whistle Wembledines we’re almost ahead again only for them to see another effort rattle the crossbar

The game remained level until one minute to go when a Wembledines corner was well defended by Mulcair who managed to break up the field and forced a 3v2 which they worked perfectly and slotted home what looked to be the winner.
However it wasn’t to be as Wembledines managed to go right up the other end from tip off to clinch the equaliser with the last kick of the game.
