Ballynahinch United 1 v 1 Saintfield United
United entertained local rivals Saintfield United in this league game at Millbridge.
The two sides had met almost a month ago with United winning by a clear margin at Saintfield however in this reverse fixture things were not made so easy with the visitors in much more resilient mood.
Saintfield United’s excellent win last week against Division 1A side Barn United meant that they were coming off the back of a good result.
It was United who were in the ascendency in the early stages of this game scoring in the 25th minute through Ross Hayes and also hitting both the cross bar and post. Stuart McMullan had a goal ruled out for offside however few in the ground agreed with the referees decision.
In the second half Saintfield were a far better proposition and restricted United’s scoring opportunities to a couple of long range efforts.
United’s inability to get a second goal which would likely have killed the game came back to haunt them when with ten minutes to go Ross Hayes had the misfortune of tunring the ball into his own net for Saintfeild’s equaliser.
United will have been disappointed that they did not play better and would have hoped to have taken all three points particularly at home however they have managed to remain unbeaten for a number of weeks and will hope to take this good fortune into their next match away to Ballywalter Recreation.
