Ballyhar travelled to local rivals MEK on a sunny Wednesday evening. The game started in a cagey manner as both teams were finding their feet. However, on 23mins Ballyhar found the breakthrough when Jack Cooper found Captain Tomás Bolger who slotted home for a 0-1 lead.
Jack Sheehy, who had been threatening on the left flank all game found the net on 26mins to give Ballyhar a 0-2 lead and helped settle any remaining nerves.

Elliot Lyne was working hard on the right wing and had created several chances with his deep crosses to the back post. Lyne helped with a corner for Ballyhar on 37mins and from this Ewan Myers poked home the 3rd goal when he connected with the Bryan Evans corner!
The 4th and final goal came on 55mins when Ciaran Ferris stuck a powerful low shot from the edge of the box into the bottom right hand corner.

Paddy Hurley at centre back deserves a special mention for his marshalling of the dangerous MEK forwards.

A great result for Ballyhar as they march on to the next stage of the cup!
