  Yoker 3 v 2 Saint Anthony's

When 11 converted a 90th minute penalty it seemed all over however Saints player's are convinced that Taylor's header had clearly crossed the line but as with recent decisions it went against the Ants who's brave fight-back led to nothing.

The home side dominated the opening quarter missing a series of chances, McMillan did give the Ants hope but Meechan saved well. Yoker opened the scoring when Cameron headed home from a Corner on the half hour mark. Saints began to enjoy their best spell of the half but Meechan produced the save of the season when he touched away a Williams shot destined for the top corner of the net

Half Time - Yoker 1 v 0 St Anthony's

The second half was more an even affair with end to end football being the order of the day. 11 missed an absolute sitter then Donaghy watched as his header hit the post and was cleared. Meechan then blocked Taylor's effort before Turner saved from 10. Yoker got the second when another superb cross landed to 11 who blasted home from 8 yards. Saints reduced the deficit in 75 minutes when Mansare's throw was knocked on to Callaghan to shoot low past Meechan. 10 Minutes later Saints were level when a Melee in the box ended with Loughton sending his well placed shot from 18 yards into the bottom corner of the net. With a draw seeming the likely outcome Yoker won a corner on the right. As Turner went to clear he was barged from behind, the ball was shot forward only for Miller to produce a fine diving save with one hand on the goal-line (Pity Mr McCrossan was not refereeing!!) and the ref correctly sent Miller off and awarded a penalty which 11 coolly slotted past Turner. Then came the decision that denied the Govan side the equaliser and a hard earned point
