A pressure free by Katie Mc Nulty, in the 5th minute of injury time earned Ballinamore CS a draw in there season opener in Ballaghaderreen school pitch on Tuesday, 20th September.
Ballinamore had the advantage of a strong wind in the first half and went in 3 points ahead at half time, playing very good open football.
In the second half St. Nathy’s whittled away at the lead and despite very strong defending from Ballinamore, the opposition got a late point 3 minutes into injury time. One last surge by Ballinamore saw a foul on Emma Mc Govern which Katie Mc Nulty cooly converted to cap off a superb performance.
Ballinamore now face Carrick CS in their second of 4 group games in 2 weeks time. In a game Ballinamore should have won on their missed chances alone, we did well to etch out a draw in a tough, competitive opener.
