The Reserves and Burren played out a thrilling 1-13 to 1-13 draw in Castlewellan in the All County Reserve Championship Final and now must meet again next weekend to produce a winner.

Burren settled the quickest with Bernard McLoughlin (2), Gregory Curtis and Mark McClorey all getting on the score sheet to a solitary Jamie Grant score for Carryduff.

Ryan Hanna kept Carryduff in it only for Kevin McGivern, Paul O'Hare and Mark McClorey to stretch the Burren men's lead even further. Paul Donnelly and Mickey Hamill both scored great points after driving runs from midfield to keep Carryduff in contention.

Bernard McLoughlin got his third score of the game for Burren before Brendan Curtis, the Burren full forward, was allowed to run in from the wing to clip the ball into the back of the net passed the despairing dive of keeper Ger Connery. The full back position was causing headaches for the Carryduff management with no fewer than four different players given the responsibility.

Conor Gardiner and Peter wallace took the bad look of the score to leave a five point gap at half time.

The Carryduff management team of Paul McConville and Paddy Love must have given one of their by now legendary half time team talks because Carryduff emerged like a team possessed in the second half.

A first rate ball from Ben Fitzsimmons into Peter Wallace was flicked onto Conor Gardiner who cooly sent the ball into the back of the net. Sean Molloy added Carryduff's sixth score of the half to leave the Duff men sitting pretty.

Burren weren't beaten yet with Paddy Ryan, Mark McClorey and two from Kevin McGivern giving the lead back to the men from Burren.

Ryan Hanna brought Carryduff back to level terms with Ronan McLaughlin giving Carryduff back the lead but Burren levelled again through full back Kevin McKernan.

A tense finished followed with both teams missing chances to win the game but in the end a draw was a fair result. Final score in Castlewellan
