SOCCER SHIELD DIVISION 3 SECTION B
Morrissey hits Cullen-Lattin winner
Glengoole Utd 0, Cullen/Lattin 1

A very tame affair here with not many chances created but a lot of hard work and sweat with the ball spending a lot of time in the air. Towards the end of the half Glengoole had a good chance but John Ryan managed to put it over the bar and so it was 0-0 at half time.

Cullen began to take control in the second half and on 20 minutes they took the lead when Mark Morrissey latched onto a loose ball to drive it home and that goal proved to be the winner.
