CARNINY AYFC 6-0 BRAID UTD
In this League tie at the Showgrounds it was Carniny that started the brighter, having a few early chances for Byrne and White but none were converted. However on 19 mins a Paul Craig long throw found Dean Wright at the near post who headed across the goal to Sean Byrne who fired into the Braid goal from close range. After the restart Braid saw a long range chance from David Birt go wide and an effort from Kyle Jackson comfortably collected by Ross McKillop in the Carniny goal. Carniny then started to play some neat football going forward and a well worked corner with White and Craig saw the latter whip the ball into the box for Byrne to score his second of the game. Carniny pressed forward and a through ball from White, fed into Byrne, who turned provider to play in Wright scoring Carniny's third. Half time and 3-0 to the home side.
Braid came out in the second half looking to get back into the game and nearly did with a strong strike from Jordan Foster that forced McKillop into a fingertip save over the bar. Briad then forced a couple of corners with Birt seeing his header bounce off the top of the bar. Carniny went on to score their fourth with McKillop throwing out to McCallion who played a super pass in to spilt the Braid defence to play in Luis White who deftly placed the ball past the incoming keeper. Three minutes later Jake Armstrong neatly lobbed the ball over the top of the Braid defence to Byrne who netted his hat trick and Carniny's fifth. On 85 mins Braid thought they had a chance of a consolation goal after they were awarded a penalty, but McKillop denied Jackson from the resultant spot kick. Luis White wrapped up the scoring in injury time when he got on the end of a Matthew McComb pass to slot home from the right hand side. Final score Carniny AYFC 6-0 Braid.
