Keane hits United winner

Although Ballymoney had a lot of early possession it was Armagh who created the best chances.

Muir wasted a glorious chance when he somehow put the ball over the bar from three yards out.

In their next attack Kerr should have put them one up but again his attempt sailed well over the bar with only the keeper to beat.

Muir made amends on the half hour mark when he was in the right place to finish off a superb cross from O’Neill.

Almost immediately the Toon were level.

McQuitty was brought down inside the box and the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot.

McLaughlin stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way with a fantastic spot kick.

HT 1-1

Ballymoney went all out looking for the winner and came close on a few occasions.

McCloskey who only came on as a sub a minute earlier blasted a shot which produced a great save from McFredrick in the Armagh goal.

Gary Keane shot wide from an acute angle and McQuitty had a header saved.

Nicholl and McLaughlin both missed a great cross into the box.

With Ballymoney pressing forward, Armagh almost took the lead.

Burns’ attempted lob though was superbly saved by Ryan Martin.

With the game looking like ending all square up stepped Keane who swivelled and fired a superb volley into the top corner to send the home bench and fans wild with delight.

Full time 2-1.
