A point each was a fair outcome after a scrappy and often physical encounter in front of a large Natty Lane crowd.

Ovenden got off to a dream start when George Bamford was presented with a simple tap in on 10 minutes after an horrendous mix up in the Irish defence.

The game had very little pattern to it with too many niggling fouls from both sides,

Antony Brown and Eli Hey were generally held in check by Ryan Brook and Graham Hall and neither side create many opportunities.

On 65 minutes the Irish Club drew level when Hey fastened onto a right wing centre to steer the equaliser passed Chris Moroney,

Both sides cancelled one another out for the remainder of the game.
