Castlefin Celtic 3 Cranford United 2
Castlefinn started the better and took the lead in the 4th minute when Corrie Bogan shot to the corner of the net from an Emmet White corner.
Ten minutes later it was 2- 0, Ronan Tourish tapped the ball home after good play from Ian Ward and Shane Gallagher.
The home side dominated the play and had efforts from Tourish and Ward but both were well saved by Hegarty in the Cranford goal.
Castlefinn scored their third in the 55th minute when a Ronan Tourish shot from 25 yards flew into the top corner of the net.
Against the run of play, Cranford pulled one back in the 72nd minute when an Andrew Kelly shot ended up in the back of the net.
That goal spurred Cranford on and in the 80th minute, Cranford were awarded a penalty for a foul in the box.
Chris Carr converted the penalty and Cranford tried hard to get an equaliser but the Castlefinn defence stood firm.
