Stiff Luncarty test likely for Dokens

NEWLY-CROWNED North League champions North End head for Luncarty — and they could face one of their stiffest tests of the season.

North End were 2-1 winners when they last met and it promises to be just as tight this time round.

Luncarty moved a step closer to their objective with a 2-1 win away over Harp in midweek.

A Martin Maher penalty after 63 minutes proved to be the winner after Richard Doig’s sixth-minute opener had been nullified.
