Mid-Ulster League fixtures for weekend
Lurgan Thistle Reserves braved the 90 mile round trip to Kilkeel to play runaway leaders Valley Rangers.
The weather played havoc with squad availability and the Jags travelled with just one sub who was called into action after 20 minutes, when C. Lavery was forced off with an ankle injury.

The second half saw Thistle with a few chances of their own as C. Compston found himself in good positions, but couldn’t beat the keeper. Patterson equalised for Thistle, but then Compston saw red for two yellow cards.
