Premier Division
Clonmel Town 3 – 4 Two Mile Borris
This Premier Division thriller lit up the Complex from the first whistle. Jack Burke put Town ahead early, but goals from Jake Jordan and Ben Slattery quickly turned it around. Graham Kelly equalised from the spot before Stephen Kelly fired Town in front again, only for Stewart Hanrahan to level just before half-time. Slattery struck again after the restart to restore Borris’ lead, and despite late Town pressure, the visitors held firm for a memorable win.
Verdict: Borris showed incredible resilience and attacking flair to take all three points from a pulsating seven-goal battle.
Cahir Park 3 – 2 Cullen Lattin
An evenly contested game saw Cahir take the lead through Adam Hennessy after a fine assist from Willie Dunne. Cullen Lattin hit back with quickfire goals from Tristan Stokes and Josh Flannery, but the hosts levelled before the break through a deflected Ryan St John cross. St John then fired home a fine effort on 45 minutes to give Cahir the advantage. The second half was tight, and when Niall Daly saw his penalty saved by Josh Moloney, it looked like Cullen might steal a draw, but Cahir’s defence stood tall to claim all three points.
Verdict: A gritty home win for Cahir Park, built on heart, organisation, and Ryan St John’s first-half heroics.
