BALLYBOFEY United have started the 202627 Campaign in scintillating form but that perfect start to the league has been halted after a draw against Cranford FC. They already have the Donegal Area Shield under their belt but next up on the agenda is a trip to Milford United, and Mark Griffin expects a tough afternoon, but believes they are well prepared.
“Away to Milford won’t be easy,” he started.
“They’re going well and really, there are no easy games in this division.
“It’s going to be a hard fought season but we’ll keep plugging away.
“We’ve been going well, we’ve put a lot of effort in.
“It’s going to be one game at a time, Raymond[Foy] has put so much into it and we’ll need to give something back.”
Cranford FC took the lead through a spectacular goal from Evan O’Carroll just 30 seconds into the game. Chances were created at both ends as the match progressed but neither side could find a winner and Griffin noted it can just be one of those days.
“It’s always disappointing not to win on our home ground,” he said.
“A hard fought game between us and at the end of the day, chances were had but not taken.
“Their goal was a shock to the system, and you have to reset because it sets you back, nobody is prepared for that kind of strike.
“After our goal, it felt like the kind of game where you knew the next goal would go on to win but that never happened.
“It was just one of those days where it doesn’t fall for you, so you take the point and carry on to the next one.”
