Ballinderry
edge out Mayobridge - 27/10/02
Ballinderry 0-9 v 0-7 Mayobridge
Ballinderry showed their All-Ireland credentials
by producing a battling display to repel a brave Mayobridge
challenge in Sunday's Ulster Club Football tie at Newry.
Mayobridge appeared to have done the hard work when restricting
the Derry side to a one-point lead at the interval with
a strong wind advantage to follow in the second period.
But Ballinderry, boosted by superb displays from Enda Muldoon
and wing-back Darren Crozier, produced a great second half
to claim a deserved victory.
It was something of a rough-house game which saw 13 bookings
and the late dismissal of Mayobridge defender Francis Polland.
Two excellent saves from 'Bridge goalkeeper
Sean Fetherstone restricted Ballinderry's interval lead
to the minimum. Mayobridge looked to have the edge midway
through the second period when they levelled the contest
for the sixth time thanks to a Mickey Linden point.
However, Ballinderry then used possession football to good
effect to take a measure of control and two unanswered points
from Declan Bateson and Gerard Cassidy proved crucial.
Darren Conway's injury-time point made the game safe for
Ballinderry.
Ballinderry advance to a semi-final meeting
with either Crossmaglen or Errigal Ciaran whose game was
postponed yesterday.
