Arranmore Utd kicked off in their third league game of the season with a draw and a loss to their name as they travelled to play Castlefin Celtic. Arranmore started the brighter with Daniel Rocky and Conor McGlynn controlling midfield and Rocky helped create the first notable chance when his diagonal cross field ball found Declan Proctor at the far post who drilled back across goal first time to Chris McGlanaghey who found his shot expertly saved by the home keeper. Daniel went close himself after this with a strike from distance and Castlefin tested Rua in the away nets once or twice but the score remained 0-0. Daniel Rocky opened the scoring with a free kick from 30 yards which flew into the net over the despairing keeper. In fairness to Castlefin they reacted immediately as their centre half rose highest to equalize from a free kick.
Half time: 1-1
Castlefin came out of the blocks the quicker in the second half and went ahead following a goalmouth scramble but Arranmore pushed on from here determined not to leave empty handed. Daniel Rocky went close again as did Chris McGlanaghey before a brilliant ball over the top sent Declan racing down the left wing and he hammered the ball across goal which resulted in an own goal from the home centre back making the score 2-2.
Both teams went for the winner in the final stages with Chim, Wan Dan and Michael stopping everything at the back and then it came with only two minutes injury time to play as the ball made its way to Daniel Rocky on the right side off the area following a cleared corner, Daniel rifled the ball into the far corner with the keeper helpless to stop it.
There was a good battling performance throughout up against a strong physical Castlefin side but Arranmore came away the winners.
