North Down entertained Bangor in a Premier League game on Saturday at Comber Leisure Centre.\u00a0 Unfortunately just before the game commenced the heavens opened and the pitch began to flood. North Down members worked tirelessly to clear the surface water and the umpires agreed to start the game but with the rain continuing to fall had no alternative but to abandon play at half time with North Down leading by 3-0.\u00a0 It is now down to the Competitions Committee to make a decision.\u00a0 Does the result stand or does the game resume with 35 minutes remaining and the scoreline at 3-0?\u00a0 Similar situations in the past have seen visiting teams recalled to play out the game.<\/p>\n
In the first quarter North Down dominated play and strolled into a 3-0 lead with Josh Gilmore getting a brace and Davy Morris scoring from a short corner.\u00a0 Further opportunities fell to Phil Templeton and Gareth McKeown but these were squandered.\u00a0 The second period followed a similar pattern with the North Down goal under no pressure.\u00a0 North Down were happy to keep possession and control the game, however they were unable to increase their lead.\u00a0 With water beginning to lie as the half time whistle went the umpires decided that conditions were becoming too dangerous and abandoned the game.<\/p>\n
