Report on First Galgorm Derby

[bremner]

This will probably bore everyone except the players who played in this game.....the bad thing is that I have plenty of this stuff.

I will just relate the Guardian report on the first Galgorm Derby.... don't know what year. Someone may know.

Galgorm Blues 4 Galgorm Rangers 1

The first Galgorm "derby" finished in a convincing win for the Second Division team
Conditions were bad, but it was Rangers who mastered them better early on and produced the first goal after 22 minutes, when William Williamson pounced on a mistake to score.
This spurred the Blues into action but bad finishing let them down in their attempts to get back on terms.
The second half saw the Blues come out more determined and they took control of midfield with McClure, Cunningham and Gordon working extremey hard.
Jim Smyth equalised for the Blues with a cross-cum-shot which finished up in the net.
Three minutes later left bac Alan Dodds put Smyth through to score from eight yards. Blues were well on top now and this time Smyth turned provider, pulling the ball back for Peter McCullough to put them 3-1 up.
Rangers had no answer to their rivals with Gordon teasing them with some great runs. He set up McCullough to drive low into the corner of the net to complete a convincing 4-1 victory.
In the end the class of the Second Division Blues was just too much for the newcomers.

I was playing for Greystone in the 92/93 season, and we played Galgorm Rangers in the 3rd Division that season, so this game must have been in a Cup.

Wee tiny, never scran the bundle, Poker, as his playing career was cut short being diagnosed with anorexia and Ivan Cunningham who was playing for the Galgorm Blues at the time.
