RDFL Round-up

Moore United go three points clear at the top of the Premier Division of the Roscommon and District league following a hard earned 1–0 win over neighbours Skyvalley Rovers at Falty park Moore. The home side had two great chances to take the lead in the first ten minutes but for the remainder of the half it was Skyvalley Rovers who created the better chances and should have taken the lead. The second half was closer with the deciding score coming with twenty minutes left to play. Mark Nicholson chased a long ball over the Skyvalley Rovers defence and gave the otherwise excellent Hardiman no chance with a close range volley.
