BEARA United and Sullane are neck and neck at the top of the U12 Schoolboys Championship Division.
Beara continued their excellent run thanks to a 4-0 victory at home to Skibbereen Celtic. Alfie Power netted a hat-trick and Robbie O’Sullivan also scored in United’s fifth win in six outings.
In the same division, co-leaders Sullane proved too strong for Lyre Rovers, running out 3-2 winners following a cracking game at Coláiste Ghobnatan. Eduard Mihai Ulianov was twice on target for Rovers but Conor Kelleher (2) and Liam Carey efforts maintained Sullane’s title push.
Bay United and Castlelack drew 1-1 in Kealkill. Kyle Buckley fired the visitors ahead but an Oskar Ustjanowski leveller earned Bay a share of the points. Beara and Sullane remain joint-top of the U12 Championship on 15 points apiece. Bay United and Castlelack sit in joint-third with Lyre and Skibbereen yet to get off the mark.
