Eurotech Junior League: Blackhill recorded a victory in their first home game of the season last Sunday afternoon against neighbours Oram. Blackhill started off on the back foot with Oram quickly opening up a two point lead. Blackhill regrouped to draw level and then registered the only goal of the game with Jason Finnegan converting Colin Woods’ parried effort. Soon after that, Oram were presented with their own goal opportunity as they were awarded a penalty in an incident that saw goalkeeper Shane Farrell black carded. Gerard Mc Ardle managed to save the spot kick before Eamon Byrne took his place between the sticks for the rest of the game. Final score Blackhill 1-09 Oram 0-06.
