The top game in the Premier A League pitted second against third when Hyde Rangers hosted Caherdavin. In the end the sides had to settle for a share of the spoils after an entertaining 90 minutes.
Hyde bossed the early exchanges but it was the visitors who broke the deadlock when Callum O'Hanlon headed home in the 27th minute. Alan Neill added a second six minutes later when in perfect position to fire into an empty net.
Evan Shine reduced the deficit from the penalty spot in the 35th minute after a hand ball. Jamie Hogan brought Hyde Rangers level in first-half stoppage time when he pounced on a loose ball after Evan Shine’s shot was blocked.
