The Playr-Fit Premier Intermediate League made its return and produced victories for Dergview, Dollingstown, Ballymacash Rangers, Tobermore United and Warrenpoint Town.

Dollingstown are the only side with a 100% record after three games, and they kept up their winning streak with a 3-0 defeat of Oxford Sunnyside in the derby at Knockramer Park.

Two goals midway through the first half from Aaron Duke put the Dollybirds in a strong position at the break, and they made sure to secure the points not long after the interval through Ben Neill.

Both Warrenpoint Town and Ballymacash Rangers clocked up big wins, both hitting six past Lisburn Distillery and Portstewart respectively.

Benny Igiehon bagged the only hat-trick of the day as he helped ‘Cash stroll past managerless Portstewart at Mullaghacall, with the other goals coming via Dylan Sinnerton, William Faulkner and Anthony Burns.

Glenn Law had levelled for the Seahawks early in the first half before the visitors grabbed hold of the game.

Jim O’Hanlon edged ‘Point ahead late in the first half at Milltown, with Diarmuid O’Hanlon doubling up early in the second half.

Kyle Flynn did pull the Whites back into it soon after, but a Michael Leddy double plus late goals from Christopher Crane and Tony Tumelty made it a comfortable afternoon for the home side.

Sam Sproule struck twice – once in each half – as Dergview edged past Moyola Park at Darragh Park, with Peter Duffin hitting a late consolation for the visitors.

Goals from Daniel McIlhatton and Owen McKeown either side of a Eoin Rooney strike saw Tobermore United narrowly defeat Rathfriland Rangers at Fortwilliam Park.

Coagh United came from two goals down to draw at home to Banbridge Town.

Reece Doyle and Cormac McNally had fired the visitors into a commanding lead, but David and Luke Taylor both found the net before the break to level matters.

And it ended scoreless at The Dub as Queen’s University and Knockbreda battled to a draw.
