Rathangan AFC 0 1 Coill Dubh AFC
In a fiercely contested match where both sides were desperate for points, it was Coill Dubh who secured all three. The game was largely dominated by midfield play, with both defences performing admirably. The deadlock was finally broken in the 74th minute when the same trio set up Ryan Murran, who unleashed an unstoppable shot from his trusty left foot. Making his debut, Steven Agbele brought energy and pace to Coill Dubh. However, the man of the match was the outstanding Ryan Murran. His ability to cover the pitch, break up play, and put Coill Dubh on the front foot, especially in the final quarter where he dropped into a holding role, was capped by his winning goal
