Killavilla United and Thurles Town made it three wins from three at the weekend as they continue to set the early pace in the North Tipperary & District League Premier Division.

Thurles Town ran out 1-0 winners against title rivals BT Harps at the Greyhound Stadium on Sunday. Luke Jordan got the all-important winner midway through the first half to keep Town’s two-year undefeated streak going.

Killavilla had it a littler easier on Friday evening as they travelled to Drombane to face Clodiagh Rangers. Goals from Joe Moloney (2), Shane Moloney and a seventh of the season from Paul Kirwan saw the Roscrea side run out 4-0 winners.

Elsewhere in the top division, Nenagh Celtic continued their mini revival as they ran out 5-1 winners away to Portumna Town on Sunday. A brace from Marky Walsh was added to by further goals from Jimmy Hynes, Brian Mitchell and a Sean Healy penalty as a late Garry Curran goal gave Kieran Curran’s Portumna little solace.

A Michael O’Gorman strike was enough to see Rearcross get their second win of the season against a Borrisokane side who now languish at the bottom of the table without a point after three games.
