thriller. Carbury 4-0 Up after 20 Minutes Hat-trick From Garreth Kelly and One from Jason
Lyons. Steven Willis pulled One back For Harps before half time. Jason Lyons added his
second for Carbury, Luke Flynn added another for Harps and Jason Lyons completed his hat
trick. Arrow Harps made three substitutions and were rewarded with a goal each from Ben

Cartron United and St John's met under the lights at MacSharry Park on Thursday night, and
it was Cartron who opened the scoring on eight minutes when Jake Hargadon calmy slotted
home to the corner from ten yards. St Johns got the equaliser their play deserved when
Darragh Mc Goldrick pounced on sixty minutes.
This goal seemed to awaken Cartron, and they regained the lead just a minute later when
Donal Gallagher fired home a powerful header from a corner. Just three minutes later Cartron
were further ahead with Gallagher getting his brace.
St Johns made it for a tense finish when Malachy Spratt gave them a lifeline with a goal on
ninety minutes, but the hosts saw out the remaining minutes in injury time to seal the three
points.
