Sirocco Works 1 v 2 Ballynahinch United

United travelled to the Billy Neill Playing Fields, Dundonald last Saturday for this league fixture against Sirocco Works. In addition to long term absentees JJ Carlisle, Craig Bowman and Alan Patterson also missing were Steven Kennedy and Johnny Hunter so in came Ian Boal, Scott McKibbin and Greg Allison.

Things started very badly for the visitors when they were caught cold by Sirocco in the first minute when they scored after some rather slack play. United rallied with the help of some excellent defending from Boal, Hayes, Foster and Herron and safe handling from Brian McMullan to get into the game. Stuart McMullan got United right back into the game on the stroke of half time when he scored to make it 1-1.

In the second half United were a much different proposition and prompted on by Scott Brashaw players such as Jay Smyth, David Kelly, Aaron Cheevers, Scott McKibbin and Ian Boal all played a major role in ensuring that all three points came back to the Millbridge thanks to a last minute winner from Ian McMullan.

This week United travel to Dunmurry YM for their final away game of the season before they finish with two home games against Lisburn Rangers [20th April] and Immaculata [4th May].

The Albion 2 v 2 Moneyslane 3rds

The Albion played this league game at the Millbridge as a result of the cancellation of the Swifts league match and they put on one of their better performances in recent weeks.

Things did not start of good however as they conceded a goal after 10 minutes but they recovered to equalise with a good goal from Ross Bingham.

In the second half Moneyslane found themselves down to ten men as a result of a rash of injuries and they allowed the Albion to enjoy most of the possession. Jason Brennan popped up in a goal mouth scramble midway through the second half to give the Albion the lead.

Moneyslane equalised in the dying moments of injury time when a forward headed home from an unmarked position.
