With a changed formation, playing just three at the back, Comber started the game hoping for a repeat performance of the last time the teams met.

Comber started well trying to make use of the large amounts of space on the right wing. Millar, Childs and Whiteside combined passes well and came close a number of times. Wilson and Manley then had great chances to score but the Carnmoney keeper made a briliant save to deny a certain goal. From a Comber cross from the right a Carmoney defender was judged to handle the ball, and a penalty was awarded. Black stepped up (quickly) and scored confidently putting Comber one up at halftime.

In the second half Carnmoney came more into the game and had a couple of slight chances to score but Anderson did well to deny them. Again Comber had more chances to extend their lead, but failed and were made to pay when Carnmoney equalised after a mix - up in the Comber defence. The game ended a draw, a disappointing result of Comber after numerous chances created. Better finishing is certainly needed lads!

Millar was awarded man of the match after a strong and energetic game but special mention must go to young Hamilton on his debut at right back, in the second half.
