Village Seconds take Larne Tech to school

It has been a stop start campaign in the league with several weeks having no fixture but this very young side are gradually starting to find their feet with probably the strongest team they have been able to put out for a while.

The visitors, Larne Tech, have had a reasonably good start so it was going to be a tough game but the home side started really brightly with some neat passing football they gave the visiting defence plenty to think about.

Young Matty Rowan and Kenny Gracey up front were lively and the former with his pace was unsettling their back four.

They took a deserved lead when Nathan Hamilton swung in a dangerous free kick which glanced of a defenders head past his own keeper.

Towards the latter stages of the half Tech came more into it but Dromara’s defence were well in control and anything that came into the box 16-year-old keeper Ross Bingham dealt with everything confidently.

The second half was a very even affair but there was not going to be alot of chances in this game with both defences looking strong,a couple of freekicks from Dromara just failed to find a player to finish it off and one run from fullback Gareth Rowan past a couple of defenders saw his shot straight at the keeper.

Christopher McCormack on the other side also had a great driving run and his cross found Gracey but he didn’t get enough power on the header to beat the keeper.
