Impressive Dunaghy book place in final

As you would expect for a semi final it was a tight contest but Dunaghy took the lead when Joseph Nicholl turned in a fine Gareth McConaghie corner to give them a one goal advantage.

Both teams had good spells until Lee Patrick found himself in space out the left and put in a danger cross which was put into his own net by a Crusaders player who was being put under pressure by the tireless Martin Shaw to make it 2-0 at half time.

The second half saw Crusaders push hard for a goal but Dunaghy worked hard to kill the game with their 2-0 lead. This was a great team performance from Dunaghy especially Nigel Small and Andrew Chestnut in the middle of the park.
