BURDEN LIGHTENS THE LOAD

Hat-trick hero carries Annalong into final

to league matters this weekend and a home game against current leaders Armagh Rovers. Henning insisted: “That game is going to be a real six-pointer because they’re sitting top. “We’re going well and have games in hand but you have to win those games. “Last season we dropped points to the teams around us and that ultimately cost us. “After Armagh Rovers we have Ballyvea in the league so the big games keep coming.

“But we’re in good form and the boys just want the next game to come at the minute.

“Division Three is always unpredictable and we just weren’t good enough last year.

“But we’re fighting on a number of fronts still this season which makes every game important and exciting.

“We’ve already beaten Fivemiletown, Ambassadors, Glenavy, so we don’t fear any team above us. We’re happy to take them on.

“If we get through in the next round of the Marshall we play Banbridge Rangers which is a great incentive.”
