Mayobridge and Ardara Draw in Ulster


Taken from BBC Website

A Benny Coulter point in the dying embers of injury time gave Mayobridge a fortunate draw against Ardara in the Ulster Club SFC quarter-final clash.

The Donegal champions looked set for a shock result when Coulter struck to save the Down kingpins.

Both sides were level 0-06 at half-time but Mayobridge took the lead on the restart with a goal by John Quinn.

But Ardara hit back when Peter McHugh hit the net and held a point advantage until Coulter struck the equaliser.

Mayobridge's player-manager Mickey Linden thought that his side were on their way out as they game moved into the third minute of injury time.

''It certainly looked if we were going to be knocked out in the last few minutes,'' said the 41-year-old veteran.

''But we held it together to get the point we needed for the draw. I was very pleased with the outcome. Ardara are a very tough side.

''They played the ball around well and give little away and we struggled. I was not surprised by them. We knew they were a good side.

''Benny received a bang on the back and we put him up front on one leg. But he banged the ball over and we live to fight another day.''

The replay will take place next Sunday with a 11430 GMT start.
