Newcastle & District Amateur League Division 3
The Albion played this home league match at Kilmore and came away with a convincing victory despite falling behind in the opening minutes.
Rathfriland went ahead on 15 minutes however the home side equalised very soon after and in an outstanding display went into the break 3 – 1 up.
In the second half they consolidated their victory with another two goals. The goal scorers were Alan Massey with a hat trick, Paul King and Graeme McMullan.
This was a great result for Davy Teggarty’s young charges who give their all every week and despite the occasional blip come back with regular displays that give everyone so much encouragement for the future.
Training for all 3 teams takes place at the following times and locations every week:
Tuesday nights, 6.30pm at St Colman’s High School, Ballynahinch.
Thursday nights, 7pm at Ballynahinch Community Center.
The Swifts and Albion were both defeated in their league games at the weekend.
The Albion travelled to Hydebank for a match against Carryduff and if they had taken any of the numerous chances that came their way in the first half things might well have been very different.As it was a goal from teenager Graeme McMullan equalised Carryduff’s opener however a penalty and a late goal ruined the Albion’s day.
The Swifts on the other hand were outclassed in an away game to Greencastle Rovers with a brace of goals coming from Chris Gray.
