In-form Dungannon Swifts beat Limavady United

In-form Dungannon Swifts secured a 2-0 victory over struggling Limavady United, extending their impressive start to the Irish Premiership season. The Swifts' Leo Alves opened the scoring with a free-kick in the first half, deftly curling the ball into the net despite a challenge from Marty Gallagher. Junior added a second goal with a close-range header in the second half, propelling Dungannon Swifts to the top of the table ahead of Coleraine's match against Crusaders later on Saturday.

Limavady United, who loaned Jamie McGonigle from Coleraine for their debut appearance, failed to find a breakthrough, leaving them still searching for their first points of the season. The match was a lively affair, with Ronan Wilson and Shea Gordon both missing goal-scoring opportunities early on. Despite a late scare for Limavady United, who drew closest to a draw in the 52nd minute, Dungannon Swifts maintained their lead, ending the game satisfied with their performance.
