Shock victory for Harmony Hill dents Victoria's title aspirations

Ballymacash YM III now in a very strong position.

Harmony Hill showed signs of a shock in the first-half but Victoria took the lead against the run of play with Phil McCarroll scoring.

The setback did not unsettle the Hill and they were in control throughout the second-half with David Bell getting the equaliser two minutes after the break.

Bell then gave his team the lead and William Kenny made sure with a third to give Harmony Hill a deserved victory.

Barry McComb, the Harmony Hill boss, said they had probably ruined Victoria’s League hopes and added: “It was certainly the best performance of our first season and hopefully we can benefit from this result.’’

Victoria manager, Andrew Storey, said they have been missing the influence of their captain for several weeks, but added: “That is not an excuse. We just played badly, but we should not forget we are having our best season to date.”
