Lee Moore got Craigbane off to a flying start out at Lough Fea scoring a wonderful point from play after 15 seconds.
That lead was short lived as Lissan stormed to a 1-05 to 0-05 lead at half time. Not for the first time this year has
a Craigbane team struggled in the first half failing to kill off their opponents. It wasn't an impressive second half
by any means but it was good enough to see off a vastly improved Lissan side who will be thinking they should have
maybe had at least a point from the game. Lissans goal was their 1st score of the 1st half, a long ball in creating
a defensive error in the Craigbane defence. Craigbanes goal in the 1st five minutes of the second half was literally
the same. A long ball by Bliain Gormley foiled by the Lissan Keeper and Noel Rielly was alert to pounce on the mistake.
After that it was score for score. The game was heading for a draw at 1-11 each when Bliain Gormley landed a score
from virtually 40 metres to snatch the victory for Craigbane 3 minutes into injury time. Scorers were Lee Moore
(0-07 3f), Noel Rielly (1-00), (Gavin Conwell 0-02 1f), Jude Mc Laughlin and Bliain Gormley with (0-01) each.
