Ballynure OB hit by late equaliser

Title contenders Desertmartin had to rely on a late equaliser to get anything from their Ballymena Premier League clash with Ballynure Old Boys.

Mark Leckey’s first-half header appeared to have secured the points, until stand-in keeper, Johnny Robinson, was beaten by a long-range effort eight minutes from time.

Ballynure OB: Robinson; Penny, Leckey, G Curlett, M Curlett; Higgins (Gray), Duff, Moore (Officer), McIlroy, McFall; Houston (Harbinson).
