Arranmore Win Against Erne wanderers

Arran traveled to Ballyshannon to take on 2nd placed Erne today and came away with a massive 3 pts.
Both teams started off knocking the ball about well with chances at a premium until good work down the right hand side between young Sean Mc Cauley and Daniel Rocky resulted in the later cutting the ball back across goal from the endline to find Chris McGlanaghey who fired home at the 1st time of asking.

This setback fired up the home side and they came flying out of the blocks but Chim, Wan Dan and Conor Proctor blocked all that was thrown their way with Marty Proctor and Michael McHugh battling for every loose ball in the middle also Arran saw out the remainder of the half at 1-0.

The Ballyshannon men came out meaning business at the start of the 2nd half and following a mix up at the back which resulted in a nasty injury for Chim their number 9 headed the ball into an open net.
Arran rallied again after this looking to get a foothold gain as the home side upped the tempo and following a misplaced pass in the home defence Daniel Rocky shot 1st time from 25 yards and found his shot hit the back of the Erne net making it 2-1.

Again the home team threw men forward and seemed to win free after free and corner after corner putting Arran under a lot of pressure, pressure which told in the 70th minute when the home sides number 6 headed home a corner at the back post. 2-2.

The game had a real edge to it from then on in with Arran determined to leave with something. Phil Boyle, Marty Proctor, Michael McHugh and Wan Dan emphasised this with great last ditch blocks and tackles in the final quarter.

Arran got the winner with 12 mins to go as a brilliant cross in from the left from Declan Proctor was knocked home 1st time from Przemeck Turski to leave the score at 3 2.The whole team defended really well thereafter with a sweet strike from all of 25 yards the closest the home team came to finding an equaliser as it cannoned back of the crossbar with Michael McHugh clearing well from the rebound.
Great team performance with big displays coming from Marty Proctor, Michael McHugh and Chim (before his injury).
