A fantastic last ten minutes saw Atticall escape out of Dundrum with two points in tow in what turned out to be a very tight encounter.
Dundrum have improved somewhat of late and for the majority of this game they looked the better team. Chris Hogg proved to be an excellent link between defence and attack while Marc Cunningham was very strong in defence. Up front Paul McComiskey and target man Colm King worked really well in tandem while Conor McShane always looked dangerous when in possession.
However, experience told once more and the Mournemen showed this to no end. Whenever they looked down and out they had the leaders to usher them back in to the fray. This ultimately proved the difference between both teams.
The home team started the game off at a frantic pace. Paul McComiskey flew over a free before Paul Rooney was denied a spectacular goal by the Atticall keeper. McComiskey bagged another two frees before Atticall got off the mark with a Kevin Quinn 45'.
Dundrum were on top during this period and with Colm King winning everything in full forward they looked odds on to top the scoring charts by the final whistle. However, a litany of missed opportunities came and went as the Duns failed to add to their three scores.
On the otherhand Atticall took their chances. Ollie Sloan and the energetic Dominic Trainor pointed to level the game before Gary Morgan converted on 22 minutes to put his side in the lead by the minimum.
Dundrum continued to waste chances before McComiskey belted over his fourth free. However, just before halftime Gary Morgan sent over a 21' to leave the Mournemen in charge by one at the break.
The 2nd half saw the game destroyed as it was reduced to a stop start pantomine. Nevertheless both sides perservered and a strong Atticall finish saw them to victory.
It was the away side who pointed first to open up a two point lead. Dundrum replied instantly with Paul McComiskey's first from play. This instigated a Dundrum scoring spree which lasted until the final quarter of the game.
McComiskey added to his previous effort with a wonderful long range effort before Cormac Venney bagged his first of the night. Shortly after Venney's minor, the homesters were awarded a penalty. This seemed to be a great opportunity to establish a strong foothold in the game. However, McComiskey's effort was well saved and Attical still remained a threat.
As the game progressed the Duns continued to extend their advantage despite not dominating the middle sector. Conor McShane, Kieran Walsh and Colm King all added scores to leave John McShane's side in charge by four points with 12 minutes remaining.
It was at this stage when Atticall snuck back in to the reckoning. Gary Morgan pointed a free to put a major in it before the brave Dominic Trainor found the net after jinking the ball to the side of Dundrum's Eamon King.
Louis Sloan and Declan Hardy took charge of midfield as the game reached a nervous conclusion. In the final five minutes the Duns buckled as Atticall raised the white flag three times. Kieran Walsh contributed a late free for the Duns cause but it was Atticall who ended up the victors.
