Janesboro too strong for Fairview in Lawson Cup

On a weekend when all the local junior soccer fixtures were cancelled because of the weather, the Tuohy Cup quarter-final in midweek was one of only two games to go ahead.

With the exception of a handful of games, the LDMC fixture schedule now takes a break until the weekend of January 3-4.

John Boyle scored a rather fortuitous second when his cross found its way to the Fairview net.

Fairview had no complaints with the third goal when a superb finish from Shane Waters saw him JANESBORO: Darren Glasheen; Wayne O’Donovan; Aled Harkin; Lee O’Mara; Aidan Hurley; Shane Waters; Adrian Healy; John Boyle; Mike Hogan; Shane Clarke; Conor Lynch.
