Dundela and Loughgall trophy wins
Dundela claimed victory in the first of the junior festive football finals when they beat Ballyclare Comrades 2-0 in the Steel and Sons Cup final.

David Officer scored the opening goal in the first half of the Christmas morning showdown at Seaview with Matt Burrows making it 2-0 after 85 minutes.

It was the ninth Steel Cup victory for the Duns and manager Mark Snodden's first as a manager.

Officer, who netted with a free-kick, was named man of the match.

Burrows missed an open goal in the first half but made up for that by scoring with a late header.

On Boxing Day, Loughgall secured their second trophy of the season by beating Mid-Ulster rivals Coagh United 2-1 in the Bob Radcliffe Cup final.

Alan Murphy opened the scoring for Loughgall and Dean Smith doubled their lead before Scott McCordick pulled one back for Coagh after half-time.

Portstewart beat Tobermore United 2-1 in the Craig Memorial Cup final.

Gavin Doherty put Tobermore ahead but goals from Andrez Kleczkawski and Lee Rushe ensured Portstewart's victory.

Abbey Villa play Comber Rec in the Border Cup final at Wilgar Park on Thursday (1300 GMT).
