MATCH REPORT

Bryan Etherson made his debut in the absence of Sean McCann who pulled up during the warm up.

Ahoghill had the majority of the ball and showed some good football as we worked tirelessly off the ball. As the first half was drawing to a close Danny McComb was withdrawn after a bad challenge.

In the second half, Ahoghill were a threat from set pieces but we dealt with it well and create a few of the more clear cut goal chances with Darren McCormack, Aaron Johnston and Conor Doherty forcing good saves.

It was a good game of football between two evenly matched sides as it was last season and a point was a fair result.
