The Ballinrobe Town U21 team recorded a fantastic 2-0 victory away to Kiltimagh/Knock United in Division Two of the league. The difficult wet weather was testing for both sides, and neither side could muster the elusive breakthrough during the opening 45 minutes.
The second half saw both sides go for broke, however, it was Ballinrobe who took the lead on 73 minutes courtesy of Rory O’Connell, with Niko Petrovic playing a key role in the opening strike. Just two minutes later, the visitors were given an opportunity to double their advantage after they were awarded a penalty. Theo Bellanger was coolness personified from the spot-kick and Ballinrobe seemed on course to record a victory.
Kiltimagh/Knock United upped the tempo towards the end of the game, but the Ballinrobe defence were on high alert and the south Mayo side held on to record their second victory from as many games.
