Carnbane round up, 3rd November 2012
Premier Division
Bessbrook United took the outright lead in the league table after a first half double from Mark Patton helped them to a 2-0 win over North End Strollers at Frank Curran Park.

In the second half, Stroller’s Joe Fearon twice came close to pulling a goal back but Bessbrook should have put the game out of sight as Patton, Hughes and Matthews were all guilty of spurning decent opportunities.
‘Brook now have a three point advantage at the top but have played three games more than second placed Killeavy United.

In the Division’s other game, two teams at the wrong end of the table: Crieve Rovers and Rockview United shared the spoils in 1-1 draw at Olympic park.

First Division
There are only two First Division games to report on due to the involvement of six teams in the Mid Ulster Shield on Saturday.
Paudie Rodgers netted for Grasshoppers but it wasn’t enough for them to take anything from the game as they were beaten 2-1 by Cartwheel United. This result lifts the Crossmaglen outfit into joint second alongside Villa Rovers, though Cartwheel have played two more games.
After a shaky start to their league campaign, Shanro Santos continue to move up the league table. Shane Burns and Ciaran Hatzer were among the goals as the Forkhill side took their fifth league win from seven outings with a 3-0 over Bohemians.
