Premier League

Geraldines 0-8 Nenagh AFC

While their results to date have been a mixed bag, Nenagh AFC have been playing some neat football and threatened to click on a number of occasions. On Sunday, Geraldines had the misfortune to field an understrength XI just as the Tipperary side slipped into gear.

Leading by six at the break, Nenagh tacked on another couple after the restart in a facile win. Mike O'Gorman helped himself to a hat-trick with Dylan Morrison scoring twice. Nathan Kelly, Kieran Barr, and Saeed Ryan also found the target to complete the winner’s tally.

Nenagh AFC: Carl Williams; Colm Hayden; Eoin Coffey; Kieran Barr; Bryan McGee; James McGrath; Nathan Kelly; Dylan Morrison; Matt O'Gorman; Mike O'Gorman; Saeed Ryan. Subs: Ryan Gilmartin; Dan O'Meara; Cillian Scully; Lee Mowatt; Daniel Connolly.

Tuohy Cup

Pike Rovers 4-1 Newport Town

Newport Town’s quest for Tuohy Cup success came to an end on Wednesday when they crashed out of the competition at the hands of Pike Rovers in the first round.

Both sides opted to rest a number of players, but they still produced an entertaining game. Kieran Hanlon gave Pike the lead ten minutes before half time and Josh Quinlivan doubled it before the sides departed for the break.

With twenty minutes remaining, Quinlivan scored his second to make it 3-0 before Christy Doyle pulled one back for Newport. Youth player Aaron Cusack completed the scoring with the final goal for the winners.

Newport Town: Harry Ryan; Aaron Coleman; Eoin Looney; Drew McLean; Elliot Slattery; Christy O'Connor; Killian O'Malley; Peter O'Sullivan; Brian O'Sullivan; Cillian O'Shea; Conor Brett. Subs: Christy Doyle; Jamie Kavanagh; Joe Shanahan; Ciaran Carey; Pa Murtagh.
