North Down travelled to Lough Moss on Monday evening to play Annadale in their final league game of the season and gave a senior debut to young Chris Murray.  Still suffering from a hangover after their Irish Trophy victory at the weekend North Down put up a spirited performance before going down by 4-0.<\/p>\n

Annadale opened the scoring after 15 minutes from a short corner which perhaps should have been cleared.  A strong run by Phil Templeton saw him burst into the circle but the final pass eluded Wilson who was well placed at the far post.  Shepherd had a couple of corners well cleared but it was Annadale who threatened to increase their lead.  They did so right on the stroke of half time when a midfielder was allowed to run through  the defence and give Coates no chance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The second half was only minutes old when Annadale got their third.  A poor clearance from defence gave turnover ball and the winger ran in to score with a reverse shot.  Minutes later Annadale were awarded a very dubious corner after Templeton had cleared off the line and they scored with a strong shot into the corner of the net.  Annadale dominated possession but were unable to break down a resolute North Down defence.  McKeown stole the ball in his own half and outpaced the Annadale defence before shooting over.<\/p>\n

The final whistle sounded with no further score to the relief of an exhausted North Down team who now wait for the draw in the Anderson Cup to complete a very satisfactory season.<\/p>\n

PMB Man of the Match:  Chris Speers.<\/p>\n
