LISBURN JUNIOR INVITATIONAL LEAGUE

Distillery fail in final bid

Under-17

Knockbreda Youth 4 Lisburn Distillery Youth 1

Lisburn Distillery Youth were favourites to win the under-17 Shield final and they appeared to be on the way when Kyle McvCleery headed them into an early lead.

But, the Whites had a player sent-off and Knockbreda Youth equalised before half-time.

Before the end Distillery had three more players dismissed and Knockbreda one plus their manager, which meant there were only 17 players on the pitch at the finish.

Knockbreda went on to win 4-1 with goals from man of the match, David Cassells, (penalty), Nathan Hamilton 2 and Stuart Graham.

A bad final series for Distillery, who lost both deciders they were in - the under-15s having fallen 1-7 to Lisburn Youth on the Saturday.
