The Glademen took the lead from a penalty corner routine. The initial effort was saved but Colin McLean robbed the defender and Joel Cathcart finished high into the goal for the opener.

Raphoe weren’t without opportunities of their own and Ben McMillan in the Mossley goal was in fine form to keep the home side at bay on a number of occasions, however these efforts were in vain as a loose ball was tucked away at the back post to bring the sides level at the break.

Mossley took the lead again in the second session thanks to another penalty corner which David Glenny hammered in from the top of the circle.
