COMFORTABLE WIN FOR BRYANSBURN
Bryansburn Under 15’s were at home to Carrick and finished 3-1 winners. ‘Burn were awarded a penalty after only nine minutes when Suonio was bought down just inside the eighteen yard box. Despite the efforts of the away camp to have the penalty ruled out thinking it was outside the box the referee was well placed and let the penalty decision stand. Neill stepped up and hit the ball straight down the middle but with the keeper diving to the right the ball found its way into the net. In the 22nd minute Bryansburn doubled their lead. This time Neill turned provider playing a superb high ball over the Carrick defence which Murdoch followed all the way into the box and brilliantly headed home. Orr made it 3-0 following a McLarnon corner. He was well placed and virtually unmarked at the far edge of the box and when the ball fell to him he rifled a low daisy cutter which made its way through the crowded box into the corner of the goal. Just before the break the visitors pulled one back when they were allowed to run through the midfield unchallenged.
Both teams had good chances in the second half with good efforts for Bryansburn from Suonio, Murdoch, Dillon and Neill. However the game finished 3-1. “Man of the Match” goes to Pastuszak with a mention to Neill, Dillon and Orr who all had excellent games.
