Premier Super Cup NI Semi Final: Hibernian 3-1 Co. Down
Jul 28, 2016 | Premier Section
The game started with a ferocious pace. A well struck shot from a Hibs player was superbly saved by Down keeper Matthew Davidson. Then after a dodgy moment in the Down defence Fraser Murray almost put the Scottish outfit in front, but he was smothered by Davidson. Then soon after, Down almost opened the scoring themselves, Niall Cassidy’s header looping agonisingly over the bar. Hibs then broke in numbers but Gullan was hauled down in the attacking third before seeing his dead ball effort drift wide. Hibs clearly settled quicker and Down were limited to shots from distance. None of which troubled Jordan Brown in the Hibs goal. There were limited clear cut chances in the half with neither side being able to get the ball down and dictate the play. As the half drew to a close Down were finishing it the strongest. Some neat play on the edge of the box seen a ball slipped through the defence but the attacker was offside. Then Hibs went in front. Some nice trickery down the right flank seen Gallantes fouled by Calderwood. Gullan missed the penalty but the rebound was hammered home by Callum Donaldson. Down were looking for a swift response and almost got it but Aaron Devlin’s shot sailed over.

Premier Section Bowl Semi Final: Right to Dream 4-2 Ponte Preta
Jul 28, 2016 | Premier Section
Right to Dream got the ball down from the off and began to produce some slick passing football. Ponte Preta struggled to get on the ball in the early stages and this proved costly as Kamal Sowah put the Ghanaians in front with a cool post and in finish. From there on in it was all one way traffic as Right to Dream pushed for a second. Some neat play from Danso provided Antwi with the chance to cross but his effort failed to put the Brazilian defence under any pressure. As Ponte Preta tried to find their feet in the game, the won a free kick in midfield. After taking it quickly a shot from distance sailed over the bar. It wasn’t long before Right to Dream broke the Ponte Preta defence down again when Boahene lashed the ball home from close range. But it was game of soon after, some great hold up play by Wallison allowed Mateus to run from deep and stroke the ball home to make it 2-1. The game went quiet after that, the only notable attempt on goal was a Brazilian free kick from 30 yards out, the ball again sailing over the bar. Wallison should have made it 2-2 when he found himself one on one with the keeper but he dragged his effort wide. Right to Dream thought they had made it 3-1 when Caboclo’s diving header found the back of the net but he was ruled offside by the linesman.
