Drawn back

Cliftonville 1-1 NI Junior International XI

Cliftonville were pegged back by a late equaliser in this evening’s low-key friendly with the Northern Ireland Youth International Team.

The Reds made use of 18 players over the course of the contest – including giving youngster Odhran Casey his first taste of action in the senior team – and took a second-half lead courtesy of Levi Ives (pictured) only for the visitors to draw level with the last kick of the game.

Subs: McGovern (for Breen, 46 mins), Ives (for Lavery, 46 mins), C Curran (for McDonald, 46 mins), R Curran (for Maguire, 46 mins), Gormley (for McConnell, 46 mins), J Donnelly (for Garrett, 46 mins), Casey (for McMenamin, 26 mins).
