In the second game of the evening the "Ardara Bullets" and the "Ardara Flyers" also ended level at (3-03) each. After playing three games each the "Swifts" and the "Flyers" are level on four points each at the top of the table but there is still plenty of football to be played and the "Rockets" and the "Bullets" have still a great chance of reaching the final of this years Parish League.
