This week saw the final four games take place in the Mid Ulster League, and with them, the four Intermediate League campaigns came to an end after a fantastic season.
With Hanover having secured the title upon completing their own campaign a few weeks ago, all that was left was the jostling for the second and third positions which would be between Banbridge Rangers and Crewe United.
Both sides had double headers this week, with games on Tuesday night and the final matchups on Saturday. Banbridge came into the week sitting one point ahead of their rivals on 51 points, with Crewe facing two tough away trips to Valley Rangers and Moneyslane.
On Tuesday night, Rangers played host to their upcoming Marshall Cup Final opponents, Valley Rangers. Brian Newell opened the scoring for the visitors midway through the first half, while Steven Patterson netted shortly after half time to double their lead. The home side reacted well though and pulled a goal back through Colin Cousins ten minutes later, but despite a spell of pressure on the visitors’ goal they couldn’t trouble the scorecard again.
Just a few miles away, at Jubilee Park in Moneyslane, the hosts were taking on Crewe United. Slane took the lead after 15 minutes through Scott Larmour, and they held the lead till the hour mark. Crewe would run out winners in the end though, thanks to goals from Dan Smith, Ryan Megrath and Paul Brown.
On to Saturday now, where Rangers made the 110 mile round trip to Fivemiletown United, where the sides were all square at half time thanks to goals from Andy Mallen for the Rangers, and a Davy Fulton equaliser for the hosts.
Rangers were back in front soon after the interval through Brian Johnston, and Josh Cahoon made it 3-1 shortly after. The hosts weren’t going to lie down though, and with time running out quickfire goals from Fulton & Chris McDowell levelled the scores to complete the scoring at 3-3.
This result meant that Crewe were now sure of second spot, but they did their bit regardless thanks to a 3-2 win away at Valley Rangers. Steven Patterson and Ryan McMurray netted for the hosts, but goals from Dan Smith, Gary Rafferty & Conal Burns secured the win in an entertaining game at Bignian Park.
