Managers' Views



Lisburn Distillery enjoy playing at Saintfield.Exactly two years to the day that the Whites won 5-0 in Co Down, they went one better with this 6-1 victory.

It was Andrew Waterworth who grabbed the headlines, his power and pace enabling him to net the opener in the opening ten minutes.Whilst the United defence hesitated he took he advantage to fire home. He grabbed another two in the 49th and 54th minutes.The first saw him run in behind the United defence to blast home from 15 yards out, his second strike saw the ball crossed across goal to Waterworth who swivelled and sent a left foot close range drive into the roof of the net.

After that goal the Whites racked up a number of chances, however they had only led 2-1 at the break, United had a purple patch towards the end of the first half.

Under pressure, keeper David Wilton lost out on a high ball and Paul Sheeran kept his cool to fire into the empty net from the edge of the box (38 min). Back though came the Whites, Ryan Catney running into the box but his shot came off the far post and was cleared. The clearance though resulted in a foul and from a short free kick Gareth McKeown smashed a low drive into the corner of the net.

Wilton then redeemed himself with two quality saves right before the half-time whistle.He kept out a near post effort from Saintfield number 10, Johnny Wallace, and then tipped over a good effort from Adam Kelly.

The visitors had the upper hand throughout and on 70 mins Michael Ferguson scored from a superb chip. Virtually out on the touchline, he looked up and sent the ball wide, beyond the keeper, and in.

Gareth McKeown ntted the final goal four minutes later, a corner was cleared but McKeown hit a dipping volley from some 25 yards out into the top of the net.
