Mt Merrion Youths 0, Spartak 0
A superb Greg Byrne save, late on in the game, ensured Spartak earned a point in a tough battle at Rosemount.
Overall it was a game of few chances, with each team working hard to deny time and space to their opponents.
Rob Collins and Owen Marron worked hard in the middle for Spartak, while Dave O’Kelly had one of his better games in the heart of the Sky Blue defence. Up front Spartak were hampered when Dave Haczynskyj had to go off after a bad tackle.
Darren Ritchie created a couple of second half chances, but clear opportunities were few and far between for both sides.
A point apiece was a fair result.
