 WKD
Intermediate Cup Final: Ards 0-1 Loughgall
1st May 2008
Ards players were
denied victory at New Grosvenor on Thursday night as a 65th minute goal
from Dean Smith won the WKD Intermediate Cup for Loughgall.
Ards' first appearance in
a final under Tommy Kincaid ended in disappointment for the team and the
large band of travelling supporters as Loughgall's single strike lit up
a tepid final.
Ards enjoyed the run of
play in the first half, while Loughgall failed to really threaten. The
tables turned after the break however with the Villagers coming more and
more out of their own half ahead of Smith's header beating Andy McDonald
at his far post. Closest for Ards was James Wilson, whose back-heel from
a Stirling pass was well saved by Marc Robinson.
The Ards players were
applauded for their efforts at the end and again as they arrived back in
Newtownards - the loyal red and blue supporters proud of their team's
efforts.
Ards:
Andy McDonald (capt.), Gary Clifford, Kris Pike, Darren Nixon, Gary
Spence, James Wilson, Craig McMillen, Aaron McKee, Darren Stirling,
Ricky Billing, Johnny Roy Subs
Stephen Johnston, David Cully (for Clifford), Justin McBride (for
Billing), Mark Parker, Gary Sharratt
