DENNY DIVISION 1A Ballyhar Dynamos 1 Mitchels Avenue 2

MITCHELS Avenue are on the verge of a place in the league final after a win over Ballyhar Dynamos who are battling to avoid relegation.

Ballyhar took the lead in the 20th minute with a Shane O’Donoghue goal after a great through ball by Ger Fitzgerald. However, table toppers Mitchels Avenue struck back and goals from Brendan Coffey and Emeka Sheezyneri­o gave them the three points.

Ballyhar had a couple of chances to equalise but the goal did not come and this win puts Mitchels Avenue five points clear at the top of the table and a win in any of their two remaining games will guarantee them a place in the final.

Best for Ballyhar were Brian O’Sullivan, Padraig Shanahan, Dan O’Shea, Kevin O’Sullivan, Diarmuid O’Neill, Padraig O’Connor and Shane O’Donoghue.

Greg Powell and Jordan Murphy scored for Tralee Celtic while Damien Finn and Kevin Power scored for Castlegreg­ory.
