Drinagh Rangers 5 Clonakilty AFC 1
Drinagh Rangers maintained their 100% start to the West Cork Masters League campaign with a comprehensive 5-1 defeat of Clonakilty AFC in Canon Crowley Park. The visitors' defence proved difficult to breakdown until the quarter hour mark when Liam Curran continued his excellent season by heading home a J.J. Hurley cross to put Rangers 1-0 up. Philip Clifford doubled his side's advantage shortly afterwards before Mike Doolan made it 3-0 shortly before the break. David Hourihane made sure of the points midway through the second period and Mike Doolan grabbed his second of the evening courtesy of a marvellous effort to complete Drinagh's total. Clonakilty AFC's Tom Houlihan registered his side's first goal of the campaign with a late effort but Drinagh ran out worthy winners thanks to the efforts of Philip Clifford, Liam Curran and J.J. Hurley. Chris McCarthy and Paul McCarthy impressed for Clon.

Eamon Hurley pushed the visitors in front in the 20th minute with a confident finish and Kevin Kignston wrapped up the points for Town with his side's third goal midway through the second half.
