Banbridge pushed for the winner with Josh Kerr and defender Lee Whitten going close as the game ended 2 each.

In their second match Town took a while to get going and again found themselves two down in the early stages. They pulled one back when a nice build-up with Josh Kerr and a Ryan Meara pass found Patrick McGrath who scored from close range.

Town soon equalised, Patrick McGrath’s pass finding Jack Murray who hit an unstoppable effort high into the net.

Town saw out the match in a draw but could have fallen behind but for brilliant defending by Alex Innocenzi and man of the match Calum Kermath and a couple of superb saves by keeper Kyle Bradford.
