Saturday 12th May 2007 Kilroot Rec II 4 v 2 Downpatrick II Kilroot scorers Phillip Burnside David Kidd Gary McCahon Darren white @ Beltoy This low key affair by visiting Downpatrick II who in the past week had blown any chance of promotion was easily brushed aside by Kilroot II in the first half. Downpatrick took the lead on 6 minutes dodging the offside trap to give Hamilton in the Kilroot nets no chance.0-1 13 minutes a Phillip Burnside special levelled the scores 1-1 25 minutes David Kidd assisted by the Downpatrick defender put Kilroot in front 2-1 32 minutes Gary McCahon increased Kilroot’s lead 3-1 41 minutes Kilroot killed off the game by scoring a fourth goal by Darren White 4-1. 66 minutes Kilroot’s first change Gary Mulholland replaced by Chris Barry 67 minutes Downpatrick who had taken the game to Kilroot reduced the arrears with a neat goal 4-2 Downpatrick had a good claim for a penalty ignored as the referee didn’t see the incident plus Barry Meek made a courageous goal line clearance to prevent a certain Downpatrick goal. Kilroot’s Phillip Burnside had a goal disallowed for offside and Chris Armstrong had two great one on one with keeper both missed. Kilroot made a double substitution on 78 minutes in an effort to stem the Downpatrick pressure Andy Mearns and Gary McClune replaced Gary McCahon and Darren white. The game finished with Downpatrick on top but didn’t score any more goals.

Thursday 10th May 2007, Kilroot Rec 1 v 7 Albion Star @ Beltoy Kilroot scorer Chris Armstrong Referee Kenny Gibbons This was a shambles of a match as far as Kilroot were concerned, leading scorer Nicky Sharples on the side lines with the injured John Mathers, not available through suspension were midfield powerhouse Darren McKinty, midfield schemer Mark Latimer and influential captain Stuart Hamilton not ideal when playing the league champions Albion Star a very competent and slick outfit. Kilroot had the earlier of chances on a perfect playing surface at beltoy but Chris Armstrong and David Armstrong could have done better on 12 minutes David Armstrong had another half chance but wasted it. In contrast Albion had four chances Phillip Brownlee made a great save with one but could nothing about the other three. Albion was three up at half time. 45 minutes Kilroot changed keeper when Phillip Brownlee had a recurrence of a hamstring injury being replaced by Russell Wallace. 48 minutes Albion were four goals up this called for drastic action from the sideline a double substitution for Kilroot Trevor Cole and Stephen McClean replaced Glen Crawford and Gary Mulholland. 60 minutes Russell Wallace made a great save tip a blistering shot over the bar however on 63 minutes another great save was spilled to the right an a Albion player running in a simple tap in. 67 minutes Kilroot squandered another chance David Armstrong again. 81 minutes Albion scored two goals in a minute to make it seven and a horrible night for Kilroot. 83 minutes and a ray of sunshine appeared in the shape of Chris Armstrong scoring a neat solo effort and so unlucky not to double it on the 90 minutes when he chipped the keeper only to watch as the ball bounced of the bar and into the keepers arms, not Chris night. Albion star scorers, James Moore (3) Paul Prigent (2) Michael McVeigh Tony McAuley.
