Trim Celtic edged out

Some sloppy passing by Trim Celtic in midfield gave Rock Celtic the opportunity to take the lead in this Premier encounter at Tully Park on Sunday. At the break the visitors led 3-1 with Keith Peppard denied a great individual goal when his effort was cleared off the line by a Rock Celtic player who handled. The player was sent off and Mark Gilsenan converted the penalty. Peppard scored a tremendous goal for Trim Celtic early in the second-half when he fired to the net from outside the box, but Rock went on to win. Peppard almost snatched a late equaliser. Gilsenan and Peppard stood out for the Trim side in an exciting contest. Trim Celtic - B O'Callaghan; M Gilsenan, K Jones, D Martin, C Halton, M Corrigan, G Meehan, P Conway, K Peppard, D Conway, C Rispin. Subs - C Quinn for Meehan, E Kelly for Rispin. _____________________________________________________________ DIVISION 1 Bohermeen 2 Navan Cosmos 1 After losing the previous week Bohermeen bounced back in style when they defeated Navan Cosmos in this MDL encounter on Sunday. Stephen Ivers spurned an early chance for Cosmos before Bohermeen took the lead when the pacy Barry Allen calmly finished after a quickly taken free. Cosmos eventually did get back on level terms when Wayne Murtagh fired to the net to leave the sides level, 1-1, at the interval. Bohermeen grabbed a crucial second when Allen skilfully beat two defenders before he passed to Michael Duke who tapped home.
