Fanad United 0-1 Kilmacrennan Celtic

A single goal at the half-hour mark secured a 1-0 victory for Kilmacrennan Celtic over Fanad United at Traigh-a-Loch.

Fanad had the first opportunity in the second minute when Eddie O'Reilly delivered a cross from the right, but Darren McElwaine’s header narrowly missed the target from six yards.

The only goal of the game arrived in the 30th minute when a shot from the edge of the box was parried by the Fanad goalkeeper, allowing Mark Patterson to slot home from close range.

Just before half-time, Liam McGrenaghan’s corner was flicked on to Paddy Carr, but his header went just wide of the Kilmacrennan post. In the 65th minute, Fanad nearly found an equaliser when Keelin McElwaine’s cross evaded everyone and rebounded off the post.

With 15 minutes remaining, Conor Black embarked on a mazy run but fired over the crossbar. Fanad pushed forward in the closing stages, forcing Kilmacrennan goalkeeper Eoin McGettigan into a fine save to deny O'Reilly. The final chance came in injury time when O'Reilly headed a Daibhid Lynch free-kick just wide.
