THE PERLIMINARY ROUND of the Voodoo Venue Cup took place yesterday and here’s how it went.
Orchard FC 4-0 Fintown Harps
The first half was a tight affair and it took until the 40th minute to break the deadlock. It was the evergreen Niall Bonnar who got the opening goal when he hit a great left footed shoot into the bottom corner of the Fintown net.
The second half started and Orchard pressed for a second which came after Niall Bonnar was brought down in the box on 55 minutes. Sean Sweeney dispatched the penalty. Fintown tried to get back into the game but found the Orchard defence were hard to break down with the McLaughlin cousins in fine form across the back and with Gerry Roulston controlling things.

Orchard’s third came in the 80th minute after Niall Bonnar beat two Fintown defenders and hit a great shoot into the top corner. Best for the Orchard were Niall Bonnar and Krissi Mc Laughlin.
Drumoghill FC Reserves 1-4 Donegal Town Reserves
In what was a highly entertaining game from start to finish new Drumoghill manager Jockey Wilson got his first taste of management.
Drumoghill took the lead on fifteen minutes when Kevin Higgins won a header which Gareth Hamilton collected and with a lovely pass sent Ross Hamilton through on goal to fire his team ahead. Donegal Town got back on level terms on the stroke off half time when David Bustard scored a fine goal after a great passage of play by the Donegal midfield to send him through on goal.
