ALL SAINTS 3:10 ALDERGROVE 2:06

All Saints minors continued their fine form with a compehensive 7 point win over St James Aldergove at Slemish Park on Tuesday night.

All Saints started brightly but some wayward shooting meant that they failed to capitalise on their early dominance. Aldergrove were starting to grow in confidence and a deflected goal saw them establish a 4 point lead. The All Saints responce was swift and when strong running half back Dara Walsh saw his shot partially blocked the ball broke to Emmet Killough and he finished to the net. All Saints levelled with a further point before Killough finished to the net again to put the Slemish Park boys firmly in the driving seat. Two further points and the Ballymena lads were now asking all the questions, However they failed to build on the lead and two late first half points saw the lead cut to 3 at half time.

The second half started the same as the first with the Ballymena boys playing some fantastic football but failing to register on the score board, and when Aldergrove chipped in with 2 points with their first 2 attacks of the half, the lead was down to one. This seemed to spur the Slemish Park outfit on, and when Peter “Pizza” Mc Reynolds finished to the net, the All Saints boys had re established their grip on the match, Further points followed from Rory Mc Veigh and Steven O’Neill. Aldergrove were not finished yet and when the referee gave the visitors a controversial penalty, a comeback seemed on. Credit to the All Saints boys who were now playing some fantastic flowing football and closed the game out with some great scores.
