The supporters of Nolagh booed when Clifferna Utd was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 18 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ainnle MaCollin didn't get a good kick on the ball. Donavan O'Down took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Byrne McWilliam, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
