Friendly white city 1 - 3 donaghmore Both teams met at newmills with both squads not at full strength but that didnt stop both teams enjoying a good hard fought game with donaghmore eventually ending up with the win. Our defence was on top form in the first half but midway through the half donaghmore got the breakthru when a low corner came thru the box and fell to the more alert donaghmore man to put them one up.the midfield was a great battle with new signing valdo working very hard in front of barny and jarly who were helping us out for the day.james o hara definitely showed hes good enough at this level when he came on after ten minutes in an unfamilar right back role and was very solid for 80 minutes.it was good to see michael corr back playing and it was like he was never away with a fantastic performance.carl and aaron were dealing well with the donaghmore attackers in centre defence.0-0 ht jamie pearson made his first team debut and battled hard giving the donaghmore left back a few worries and jay little was working hard down the left.it was jay who got the equaliser on 70 minutes when a great ball to the back post from james found him and he slotted home despite the best efforts of the donaghmore keeper.for the next 5 minutes we pushed for the winner but when we failed to clear our lines their midfielder got in and crossed the ball to put them 2-1 up.again we pushed forward but this cost us right at the end to leave donaghmore the winners. Some very good performances particularly from whats looking like a great signing jason mulgrew in goals and the whole defence were excellent and jordan and conrad worked hard upfront.valdo definitely showed he is good enough for division 3 next year and pearson was impressive on the right. Man of the match was a close call but just edging it was carl who was on top form closley followed by jason in nets and james, micky and aaron. all in all a good performance with more positives than negatives.lets hope we get more lads out for our next friendly thursday night.fitness needs to improve so lets get everyone down to dungannon park tuesday night please 6.45 sharp.
