Saturday, April 26, 2008

Lurgan Celtic took the lead in the 18th minute when Donal McCourt rifled home a penalty awarded for handball.

Tobermore's Paul Owens just missed the target on the half-hour from an indirect free-kick.

And Owens shot over the bar nine minutes later with a super right-footed effort.

Gavin Doherty equalised on the stroke of half-time when he side-footed in a super Ian Crockett cross from the right wing.

Tobermore increased the pressure after the restart with Stephen Lamont producing a fine solo run to hit the side netting on 57 minutes.

The home side took the lead in the 65th minute when Stewart McCallum headed in a Doherty corner cross.

Tobermore's Niall Cooke had the ball in the net in the 70th minute only to have it ruled offside.

But Celtic did level in the 74th minute with a simple tap-in by Gavin Gowdy who was set-up in front of goal by Ryan Murphy.
