[/caption]
As Rossglass plied a number of very effective attacks against Celtic Bhoys, it was Rossglass defenders Robbie Hagen and Eamonn Vaughn who helped keep the ball out of their net with keeper Ryan Vaughn having a superb game on form handling the ball well. Rossglass had been quite resolute throughout.
The teams drew after full time and it was down to penalties. Rossglass keeper Ryan Vaughn saved four shots taken by Celtic Bhoys and it was AJ delaney and Cathal Sloan who slotted the ball into the Celtic net to put them deservedly in the final against Tollymore. Captain Eamon Vaughan missed his shot adding to the drama.
The final is on May 21st and this will be a stiff challenge for the Rossglass team who did well to overcome a strong Celtic outfit. xa0Tollymore are a well disciplined and well trained team and will be no push-overs. But Rossglass have battled well through the season showing they are a team to be reckoned with. This match could be the highlight of the xa0DYFL for the season. Manager Vincent Perry was delighted with his team reaching the final and winning 0-2 on penalties.
Some of the young Rossglass stars will no doubt be looking for places in senior teams and local managers will be eyeing them up on the day.

South Down Stormont Election – Final Results
THE final stages of the South Down NI Assembly election were full of trials and tribulations. In a few days it will all be far behind us as we look forward to another four years of governance from Stormont.
Despite the local interest in South Down, generally across Northern Ireland voters have shown a considerable apathy once again and shunned the polling stations. The DUP was returned as the largest party sparing us all the vagaries of stalled government if xa0Sinn Féin had become the largest party and did not receive total Unionist cooperation for the role of First Minister.

Review by George Fleeton
The new Lyric theatre, with its recognisable Belfast red brick exterior and its immense floor to ceiling windows, stands out – with its strikingly wing-tipped fly tower – like a landlocked lighthouse in the darkest days of our latest recession.
