WHO PLAYED OUT OF THEIR SKINS ON THURSDAY NIGHT LAST TO SECURE THE THREE POINTS NECESSARY TO STAY IN PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALL FOR NEXT SEASON.

Coachford 3-2 Wilton United

Coachford produced the performance they needed on Thursday night when a 3-2 home victory over Wilton United means they have survived their battle with relegation and after this result,
it now means that Glenthorn Celtic will join Village United as the two teams relegated from the Premier league.

It was drama in abundance at the Glebe. Coachford took the early lead on 2 minutes through Pa Finnegan, but an equaliser from Donal Lynch levelled things up once again.
Then, shortly before the break Richie Walsh netted to send Wilton in at the interval with a 2-1 advantage.
Coachford came battling back and got an equaliser from Ciaran Lucey with 20 minutes to go and in dramatic fashion, the hero of the evening for Coachford was Pa Finnegan when he got the winner with just five remaining but not before Noel Sullivan had his top corner rocket ruled out for a free on a Wilton defender.
