Anderson hat-trick brings joy for Loughgall

LOUGHGALL’S Sam Anderson took a well deserved Man of the Match as he struck a superb hat-trick in his side’s convincing in victory over Dundela on Saturday.

He opened his account on the stroke of half-time, with Anderson rifling into the bottom corner to hand the Villagers the lead.

Anderson doubled his tally ten minutes into the second half, rounding the keeper before calmly slotting into an empty net.

He completed his hat-trick in the 68th minute, confidently converting from the spot to put the result beyond doubt and cap an outstanding individual performance.

Meanwhile Loughgall 21s bowed out of the Junior Cup with a 4-6 defeat against Ballycastle United.

Loughgall scorers were: Bentley Scott (2), Justin Ramalho and James Duffy

It was a very competitive game that ended 4-4, extra time proved difficult with Loughgall down to 10 men but credit to the lads who never compromised on their principles and continued to search for a goal but unfortunately two goals by Ballycastle sealed the win in extra time.
