Match Report Portavogie 1 : 0 Comber Rec Billy Allen Memorial Shield 1st December 2007

THE 3RDS WERE AWAY TO PORTAVOGIE IN A SECOND ROUND CLASH OF THE BILLY ALLEN MEM.SHIELD ON SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH IT WAS DRY THERE WAS A STRONG WIND GUSTING DOWN THE PITCH AND AT TIMES IT PLAYED HAVOC WITH THE BALL. THE FIRST HALF WAS  SCORELESS AND THE REC WERE GIVING A GOOD ACCOUNT OF THEMSELVES, P`VOGIE NEW THAT THEY WERE IN A MATCH. PLAYING AGAINST THE WIND IN THE 2ND HALF THE LADS WERE COPING WELL BUT THEY FOUND THEMSELVES A GOAL DOWN FROM A WIND ASSISTED WONDER STRIKE. IT WAS A BIG LUCKY ONE BECAUSE THE SAME PLAYER HIT ONE SEVERAL MINUTES LATER AND THE BALL NEARLY ENDED UP IN THE IRISH SEA! THE REC HAD A GOOD SHOUT FOR A PENALTY TURNED DOWN WHEN GARY BENNETT  APPEARED TO BE FOULED FRM BEHIND. THE SAME PLAYER HIT THE POST FROM 2OYDS, AS DID STEVIE HANNA DIRECT FROM A CORNER. DAVY- JOHN BOAL  HEADED OVER FROM 6 YDS BUT  THE REC  SHOULD HAVE LEVELLED  WHEN STEVIE  HANNA  DANCED ROUND TWO DEFENDERS BUT HIT HIS SHOT OVER THE BAR.  DID HE HIT  HIS SHOT TOO WELL?  PERSONALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS A SHIT SHOT! ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GOOD PERFORMANCE AND WITH A WEE BIT OF LUCK THE SCORE WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT
