Spartak 3, Dundrum 0
Spartak won this local derby with a convincing display.
The opening exchanges were even enough and it took a flash of excellence for Spartak to take the lead when, on 31 minutes, Jeff Gamble gave a super pass into the run of Steve Walsh and the ball was dispatched neatly to the net.
Spartak took heart and Steve Walsh rounded the keeper but Martin Costello missed the chance to convert the cross at the back post.
Controversy followed when Steve Walsh had what seemed a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside, while at the other end Dundrum claimed that Jason Northey had carried a cross over the line.
A neat Gamble – Walsh move presented Martin Costello with a chance but he mis hit.
Just past the hour Spartak finished the game as a contest with two quick fire goals. A ove by Dave Kernan and Jeff Gamble gave Steve Walsh the chance and he made no mistake, and then Kernan and Walsh combined to give Costello the chance to drive into the roof of the net from close in.
Dundrum had a spell of superiority but, with Steve Grier dominating midfield , the back four held firm and Spartak finished with a clean sheet.
