Newbuildings 2-1 Draperstown Celtic

August 21, 2006

Draperstown Celtic began the League Cup with a tricky away tie with Newbuildings, the game being played at Prehen playing fields in Derry. DC where hoping to kick off the campaign with an away victory.

Unfortunately for them it didn’t happen. Newbuildings – still in Intermediate football infancy – spoiled the script with an assured performance to claim all three points from this League Cup tie.

A First-half goal set the seal on the eventual outcome and consigned DC to a second successive defeat.

Newbuildings opened the scoring on 20 minutes after their centre forward had knocked on a poor defensive clearance. All that remained was the simple task of slotting past the DC keeper.

Newbuildings doubled their advantage 20 minutes after the break.

Again, a poor defensive free-kick on the right from Ryan Brown resulted in Newbuildings promptly attacking and a cross field ball was well volleyed in from the Newbuildings substitute, giving the DC ‘keeper very little chance.

DC hit a late goal from mid-fielder Chris McGarrigle but it was too little too late.

All-in-all, a very disappointing result and it has shown that there’s still a lot of work needed in pre-season training.

Team: Martin, Stephen McKee, Ryan Brown, Conor McDevitt, Paul Gormley, John Higgins, Chris McGarrigle, Martin McGuigan, Cathal Donnelly, Ally McLean, Kevin Ward.

Subs: JP McGuigan, Stephen Caulfield, Raymond Caulfield.
