A very poor performance from an under-strength mac against amatuer league side Goodyear. Big losses to the team that day were the usually impressive Sean McGovern and Gerard Rowntree. Only 3 players, Gerard Smith, David Crane and Sean Mooreland, came away with their heads held high. A terrible 1st half had seen the mac go 2 down. an early 2nd half penalty miss from David Crane looked to have killed any hopes of a comeback but, shortly after, Kevin Hughes scored a great goal to give hope. With the mac pressing for a late equaliser, Goodyear scored on the break to see them through to the 3rd round.
Man of the Match: David Crane.

An excellent win against amateur league side, Kilroot FC. Kilroot took the lead early on in the match with a well-taken goal. Sean McGovern leveled with his head and Conor McKee put the mac in the lead with the pick of the goals just before the half time whistle. Kilroot were deservedly awarded a penalty early in the second half which was put away to level the match, 2 more goals from Conor McKee for the hat-trick gave the Mac a well deserved win to book a place in round 2 away to Goodyear FC.
Man of the Match – Conor McKee

Great win over one of the contenders for the title. A great performance from Big Damien McMillen after the disappointment of missing out on the Junior cup match against Kilroot. First half goal from Kevin Hughes, followed by a late goal from sub Glenn Montgomery.

Not the greatest opponents the Mac will face in this season of realistic hope at taking the title. Big Richard opened the scoring in the 1st half, lobbing over the St.Marys' Keeper. Kevin Lawlor added a second followed by a superb free kick from sub Chris Lawlor. What should have been a comfortable end to the game turned into an edgey one, with the Mac players falling asleep and conceding 2 late goals.
Man of the Match - Kevin Lawlor.

Subs: Neal Heaney, Daire McKee, Joe Dempsey. David Montgomery.

A comfortable win, 2 first half goals from Kevin Hughes and Conor McKee looked to have the mac on their way to victory but, 2 early replys in the second half from sloppy mac play seen Olympia draw level, but 2 good substitutions from Kevin Lawlor helped the mac seal victory with goals from a Kevin Hughes second and from subs Daire McKee and Neal Heaney, the pick of the goals coming from Daire McKee.
Man of the Match - Kevin Hughes.
