12MATCH RICHHILL UP AND RUNNING IN STYLE

-

DAILY MIRROR IT took Richhill AFC until the start of January to pick up their first league win last season but this time around they’re off to a flying start.

Marty Rice’s side were impressive in dispatchin­g Tandragee Rovers by three clear goals at the Rec on Saturday.

Wright, Quinn and Rice were the men on the scoresheet for the Villagers with a result which puts Rovers on to the back foot straight away.

Elsewhere, there were 1-0 wins for Windmill Stars and Fivemileto­wn United while Hanover were held to a 1-1 draw by Banbridge Rangers.

There were no such concerns for Moneyslane who put six past their hosts Ballymacas­h – hat-tricks for Johnny Kernaghan and Jonny Black.

On Friday night, Valley Rangers won 4-1 on their visit to St Mary’s.

This evening, Slane will look to build on that win when they welcome Banbridge Rangers while Richhill host Bourneview Mill and Laurelvale face Hanover.

Ballymacas­h are at home to Crewe with Fivemileto­wn at St Mary’s, Tandragee hosting AFC Silverwood and Windmill at Valley.

There are just two league games planned for this Saturday – Slane at Bourneview and Windmill going to Ballymacas­h.

That’s because of four Premier Cup ties planned – Banbridge Rangers against Richhill, Laurelvale at home to Hanover, AFC Silverwood at St Mary’s and Tandragee hosting Valley. 07.08.2018
