Report: Inishowen Independent
INISHOWEN Youths scored two goals in the final three
minutes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat
against Mayo at Maginn Park. |
After falling behind early
in the second-half, the talented hosts hit back when
Jason Doherty struck a late equaliser before Niall
McLaughlin curled in a dramatic last gasp winner.
Both teams had served up a very competitive and
entertaining game in which Inishowen dominated the
first-half. Mayo fared better in the second period and
having opened the scoring early in the half they
defended their lead well and counter attacked at every
opportunity.
As in most games the opening period was very even with
both teams seemingly content to size each other up with
the result that play was confined mostly to the middle
third.
As the half wore on the home side grew in confidence and
created several opportunities to go in front. |

The second-half had a
similar beginning to the first with the two teams
content to keep possession and build their attacks
slowly and deliberately.
Overall this was a game played in the right way and
correct spirit and both teams can feel justifiably proud
of their efforts. |
