O’Connor magic rescues Newtown
With Newtown struggling to overcome a dogged Ballymartle team who were competing at this level for the first time, and the scores tied with two minutes of normal time to go, Ben rattled over four exquisite points without reply to eventually break the Riverstick side’s challenge.
Apart from his delightful freetaking, O’Connor was involved in most of Newtown’s scores, with some delightful flicks, and superb passing to teammates, and showed he has lost none of the skill that made him a household name in the game.
