Glebe Reserves edged out by Chimney Corner

Ballymena and Provincial Football League sponsored by Michelin Athletic Club

WHAT a difference a week makes.

On Saturday the league lost only four games in comparison to the previous week when there was only four games played.

Hopefully the worst of the bad weather is now behind us.

Best wishes

Everyone within the League and the football fraternity in general, extend their best wishes for a speedy recovery to Anthony McCartney the Carniny Amateurs manager who sustained a badly broken leg in their recent Junior Shield game. Anthony’s injury came about after the late withdrawal by the Carniny keeper.

Anthony - who was a top class keeper during a long career - donned the gloves and sustained the injury in a goal-mouth collision.

Both teams had a chance to score in the game before Jonny Graham scored for the Corner on the 25th minute. Glebe then went for the equaliser but had to wait until Gareth Henry converted a penalty on the 55th minute.

Newtownabbey 7’s 1 v 3 Ballymoney United Res

With manager James Gilchrist in goals Ballymoney started off well and took the lead on the 13th minute when Liam Kearney scored.
