Lifford‘s build-up play from back, was very good from Lifford‘s GK Arther Cecotka and Lifford Captain Sean O’Callaghan. The first half ended very even.
In the second half, Lifford were very dominant from the kick out, getting forward in numbers especially from midfielders Rhys Farmer and Sean Garvey, this was great support for Sean Meere and wide player Kaylum Mata getting forward down the right wing causing problems for Dromore Utd‘s left back.
