AC Athletic continued their fine start to the season with a deserved win over Connolly Park in this Denny Division 1A game played at Mounthawk Park on Sunday morning last

AC got off to the ideal start when Stephen Goggin scored in the 2nd minute and dominated the early exchanges. They increased their lead in the 21st minute when John Mike Dooley scored yet another goal.

Then came a rare goal from Mark Walshe who came up from the back to give his side a commanding 3-0 lead but just before half time it was Pa Bailey who hammered a free kick all the way to the AC net but Eamon Fitzgerald scored from the kick off and that left the half time score at 4-1 to the country side.

The second half was a messy affair as AC never going to lose and despite Gerry o'Sullivan scoring a penalty for Connolly Park, John Mike Dooley made the game safe in the 82nd minute with his second goal and AC had taken three more valuable points.
