Lacken 1-14

Killygarry 1-13

Two magnificent free-kicks, one from 45 metres out and the second from 50, from Ray Galligan in the dying seconds saw Lacken take a deserved win and send 2009 semi-finalists Killygarry crashing out of the SFC at Breffni Park tonight (Sat).

Lacken led by a goal at the break thanks to a well-taken strike from Galligan with the last kick of the first half, but Killygarry rallied well and with Martin Reilly causing problems and Stephen McGovern on form from frees, they pulled ahead with time running out.

Enter Galligan. The rangy full-forward who, along with Trevor Crowe and Micheál Shanaghy, was outstanding for the Sky Blues, levelled it up with a 45-metre free before sending over the winner from all of 50 metres with time almost up.

Killygarry came again, Reilly hitting the upright with a fisted effort but a draw wouldn't have done them in any case; Lacken march on.

Earlier, Drumlane were highly impressive in disposing of Drung, with Barry Corrigan netting a first half penalty and John Fitzpatrick burying another in the second half.

Drung came back into the match well but it wasn't enough to keep them in the championship - Knockbride advance, despite losing narrowly to Ballymachugh.

More results to follow.
