8 John Walshe
9 Jeff Johnston
10 Boyd Cathcart
11 Peggy Preston 1 goal

Result: Dublin Road Select 4 - 2 Rathenraw

A fantastic day with a large crowd watching the game. The game itself was very competitive with DRS deserving their win.

Great day, super amount of money raised, good to see old mates again and a fitting day for Enda McAuley's memory. He would have loved it.

Hopefully this can be an annual event as Rathenraw are looking for some revenge.

Excellent idea, and I'm sure it was a great game. Well done all concerned, and good to see some great names from the past getting the boots on again.

Special mention to Chris Irvine, me old mate for playing, he must be at least around the 50 mark, and even scored, well done oul hand!! ;D
