McLaughlin goal gives Buncrana victory

July 3rd, 2008

Derry City 0     Buncrana Hearts 1 Despite having the majority of the play the young Derry side found themselves losing by a solitary goal to a strong Buncrana team.The only goal of the game came two minutes into the second half when Gerard McLaughlin intercepted a bad pass back from Steven Wallace to round the keeper and score easily.Midway through the second half a brilliant pass from Conor Heraghty put Lee Roddy clear only for a superb last ditch tackle by  Gary Duffy to stop the 17 year old scoring.With ten minutes left both Roddy and Karl O’Hagan missed sitters as Derry strove for an equaliser but the Buncrana defence stood firm with Gary Duffy and Tony O’Loughlin defending well.
