Spartak 6 Cherry Orchard 3
A hat trick by Cian Stenson, together with goals by Steve Grier, Neil McGowan and Jeff Gamble secured three points against a Cherry Orchard side that were reduced to 10 men in the first half.
Spartak played some fine football and yet the visitors fought back, reducing arrears and missing a penalty in the process which might have made for a closer finish.
Luke Hyland worked hard in the middle of the park and Neil McGowan fired in a free after Luke was hailed down. Cian Stenson drilled in the first goal and Steve Grier headed in from a corner. Jeff Gamble’s cross early in the second half capped a fine move, finished by Cian Stenson, who later rounded the keeper to complete his hattrick. Cian then laid on number six for Jeff Gamble.
A couple of late goals by the visitors, softly conceded, put a better gloss on the scoreline.
