Good win for Ballymoney against Dungannon

Just five minutes in Dungannon had already secured a short corner but Ballymoney defence remained strong with two excellent saves from keeper Jodie Shannon and a clearance from Bridget Cleland.

The remainder of the first half was quite physical but balanced with both teams showing excellent defence as well as creating excellent opportunities however both teams were unable to finish these opportunities with the final score of the first half 0-0.

Ballymoney came out and immediately secured a short corner within the first two minutes. Ballymoney forward Anna Nawn secured the first goal with a rebound shot. Dungannon managed to push through Ballymoney defence and create short corner. Ballymoney defended well however after a third attempt Dungannon secured a goal leaving the score 1-1.

As the last 10 minutes of the match crept in Ballymoney defender Bridget Cleland hit a long ball and forward Nikki Parke managed to get an outstanding touch on the ball inside the circle directing it straight into the goal. At this point it was now 2-1 to Ballymoney. Neither teams were settled and continued to battle until the end with Ballymoney again getting another short corner in the last minute however this again was well defended by Dungannon. The final whistle blew and the score remained 2-1 to Ballymoney. Ballymoney would like to thank Dungannon, as well as our sponsors Bonds Jewellers.
