Mount Sion end Gunners’ reign
Barry Mullane’s fifth-minute goal gave Ballygunner a dream start but they failed to build on that strike in a sometimes fractious opening half. Instead the accurate free-taking of Martin O’Neill kept Mount Sion in touch, although they had goalkeeper Iggy O’Regan to thank when he denied JJ Hutchinson before the interval.
At the other end, the Gunners goalkeeper Stephen O’Keeffe excelled in keeping out a Stephen Roche effort as the sides retired level (1-3 to 0-6) at the break.
