U12 Crusaders

Dunfanaghy 1–2 Letterkenny Crusaders

Letterkenny Crusaders picked up a valuable three points with a 2–1 win away to Dunfanaghy in the U14 First Division.

The visitors made the ideal start when Ade Alimi struck early to put Crusaders ahead, finishing smartly after a bright opening spell. Dunfanaghy responded quickly, however, and drew level on 12 minutes with a well-taken equaliser.

From there, Crusaders defended with discipline and organisation, limiting Dunfanaghy’s chances while continuing to threaten on the counter. The final whistle confirmed a hard-fought 2–1 victory, with goals from Alimi and Gardiner proving enough to seal the win.
