THE first thirty minutes of this game was a comparative non event with both goal keepers spectators in a game being played under near perfect conditions.

As the half progressed Francis McCann and Dean Smith worked hard to open up a resolute PSNI defence well marshalled by Scot McCrory.

The Police took the lead after 44 minutes when Ben Mulgrew swivelled and slotted home an Adamczyk cross from the left.

Alan Murphy should have equalised for the visitors just before half time when he headed the ball into Keith Wilsons hands with the goal at his mercy.

Both teams improved considerably in the second half with the home team playing the better football.

With the game still in the balance Raymond Wilkinson fired wide when put through in an Annagh attack which was quickly followed by the dismissal of striker Dean Smith for a second yellow card.

With 15 minutes to go Ben Mulgrew settled the game when he beat Andrew Wright with a brilliant volley from 15 yards after good work from Mark Forsythe.
