67’ Galgorm 1-1 Michelin A free kick is headed home by Ryan Young to level the scores. Les McCaughern comes on to replace Eoin Walsh.

Jake comes close for Galgorm again as a short free kick routine is struck well but manager Gerard Spurgeon got down like a young Mark McFerran to push wide for a corner.

Blues getting in to it and nearly level but Jake Armstrong curls just wide. Still leading 1-0.

Galgorm counter with a nice move started by George Young and a first time ball in to the box finds their number 4 but a terrific challenge from @SamBurns_5 gets us clear.

Galgorm clear their lines for a corner after a quick breakaway. @CharlesAllen91 carried the ball out, fed @PeterAdams21 and his neat knock inside for Walsh is cleared but the corner comes to nothing.

The gaffer / goalkeeper gives his half time team talk 💙💛

Half Time: Galgorm 0-1 Michelin The home side have a penalty shout and probably have a case but the whistle blows and we lead 1-0 at Half Time. 💙💛

42’ GOAL Galgorm 0-1 Michelin @Cormac1893 in the thick of it again as he takes off like a greyhound on steroids down the left, gets in the box and makes up for a horrible touch by crossing low for @PeterAdams21 to open the scoring.

Galgorm chance as a cross from the left flashes across goal but thankfully no one was on hand to apply the finishing touch. Still 0-0.

Another decent chance for Mich as @Cormac1893 beats his marker for pace and whips in a cross but a deflection falls kindly and the Galgorm keeper grabs at the second attempt.

First real chance on 25 minutes as @dessiebirt flicks on a long Murchan throw in which the keeper spills but grabs at the second attempt ahead of @Cormac1893

Crowds on the Galgorm Road for this highly anticipated clash has prevented a little delay in updates. Starting team: Spurgeon, A. Gordon, Watt, Birt (C), Burns, Laverty, Allen, Murchan, Adams, C. Gordon, Walsh. Still 0-0 with 13 minutes played. 💙💛
