Northend Colts 2 Lisburn City 5 Friday 10th January 2025

Northend started brightly and opening the scoring half way through the 1st period. Conan O’Neill won the ball in the midfield and after Daryn-Shae sprayed the ball out right, Jackson Kyle-Cotter slipped Oscar Fagan through, to which the big striker rifled an unstoppable shot into the top corner. First period 1-0

Lisburn City hit back from a corner kick before Brett put the Colts ahead for the twice time in the game after good work from O’Neill, Fagan and Noah Wright. Late in the 2nd period, Lisburn scored from another corner. 2-2

In the final period, Myles Hardy, Kavan Kerr and Noah McAleese were defending well against a wave of attacks from their Lisburn opposition. Harrison Moore made a fine save to keep the game all square but was helpless to prevent three quick fire goals in the final 5 mins of the game. FT 2-5

The scoreline suggested that Lisburn were the superior outfit but this was far from the case and on another day The Colts would have bagged all three points. There were a few impressive performances on display with Fagan’s all round centre play a real positive but the coaching panel were all in agreement who selfless team performance edged the POTM decision.

Panrl: Harrison Moore, Myles Hardy, Noah McAleese, Jackson Kyle-Cotter, Daryn-Shae Brett, Conan O’Neill, Oscar Fagan, Kavan Kerr, Noah Wright
