Cockhill Celtic extend their league lead with commanding win over Moville Celtic

Cockhill Celtic extended their advantage in the Jackie Crossan Premier Division, securing a convincing 10-0 victory over a depleted Moville Celtic side which sees them go six points clear at the top of the table. 

The FAI Junior Cup finalists dominated from the off and took the lead on seven minutes when Adam Duffy slotted home from close range after Conor Graham's shot from just inside the box was parried by Ryan Coyle. 

They doubled their lead seven minutes later when Duffy's right-wing cross found Liam Grant whose layoff was swept home by Graham from the penalty spot. 

It was 3-0 with 10 minutes left in the half when Brendan McLaughlin found Liam Grant who advanced into the box before finishing low past Coyle. 

Two quickfire goals soon followed. Firstly, Graham's incisive run down the right was matched by a fine cross, finished first time by Garbhan Friel. Then Graham added a fifth, firing home a Paddy McLaughlin cross from the edge of the six-yard box.  

The first chance of the second half fell to Graham on 52 minutes but his first-time effort from McLaughlin's cross flew over. 

McLaughlin's running was causing problems and, minutes later, his overlap and cross found Duffy but his close-range effort was gathered by Coyle.  

Cockhill made it 6-0 on the hour ark when Luke Rudden robbed a defender before unselfishly squaring for Grant to tap home.  

It was 7-0 when Rudden converted a penalty after he was fouled in the box. 

Liam Grant completed his hat-trick with 10 minutes left in the match when he latched onto Duffy's through ball to coolly score

Minutes later, Rudden got his second after controlling Corey McBride's right-wing cross before firing home. 

McFadden had a free kick well held by Doherty before Grant completed the scoring in the last minute when he capitalised on a poor defensive clearance to find the roof of the net.
