MOORFIELD dominated the early stages and were rewarded with a well-worked Dowling goal.

A fine Andy McGuffie header made the score level at half-time.

Immediately after the re-start Dave Gannon scored with a near post header and a Baz Griffiths penalty extended the lead.

Moorfield were run ragged by the pace of Smith and McGuffie and further goals from McGuffie and a long-range Gannon effort completed the scoring.
