Dromara Village 3
Drumaness Mills 2
DRUMANESS Mills were left cursing their luck when they conceded a
goal in added time after coming back from 2-0 down to draw level.
The Villagers grabbed the lead after 18 minutes when a ball into the
box wasn't cleared and it somehow got tangled up in Burns' legs
before rolling into the net.
Seven minutes later at the other end a shot from Paul Walsh was well
blocked by a Dromara defender. The ball fell kindly for Aidy Walsh,
but his strike went narrowly wide.
With 32 minutes gone Paul Walsh made a superb covering tackle to
prevent Dromara from stretching their lead and three minutes later
Donal Kennedy, who had just replaced the injured Neil Gelston, shot
wide at the opposite end.
Right on the stroke of half-time, Owen Wright was brought down in
the box, but Paul Walsh shot wide from the penalty spot.
The Mills were to pay for this miss as Dromara went straight down
the field and Lee Feeney scored in the corner of the net after the
Mills defence was again found wanting.
Drumaness were thrown a lifeline six minutes into the second half
when the Dromara goalkeeper's mishit clearance fell to John Connolly
and the former Downpatrick FC player fired it to the back of the net
from 35 yards out.
The Mills had their tails up now and when Burns was fouled in the
box Aidy Walsh converted the penalty to make it 2-2.
It looked as if Drumaness had done enough to earn a share of the
spoils, but Dromara rode their luck and snatched all three points
with a headed goal in added time.
