Missed chances cost Stute

While the Drumahoe man was bitterly disappointed with the defeat, he still felt the game may have changed if his side had have taken their chances before Eoin Bradley’s opening goal.

In fact the Waterside outfit could have been a few goals in front before they conceded.

“We did have chances and we didn’t taken them,” he stated.

“Stephen Curry had a couple, Stephen O’Flynn had a couple, but that’s the nature of the Premiership.

“But I am disappointed with certain performances but I can’t have everything, I just have to take it on the chin.

“Up until Saturday the performances have been good and I can’t be critical of the players.

“I was very complimentary about certain things at the start of the game and I said I could end up with egg on my face here and we ended up with a wee bit of egg on my face.

“So because of that I take part of the blame because we maybe just didn’t get it right on Saturday.”

Kee’s opposite number Gary Hamilton did concede that but for some wonderful goalkeeping by Alan Blayney, his side may have left Drumahoe pointless.

“Our all round team play was exceptional, everyone played their part in the win,” said Hamilton.

“Alan Blayney kept us in the game after about five or ten minutes when he made two great saves, but that’s why everyone says he’s the best goalkeeper in the league and it’s hard to argue on that performance.

“He’s a top goalkeeper and he makes good saves at crucial times in games and he did it last week against Ballymena United.

“I think he did his job in the first 20 minutes and then the boys just took over the mantle and helped him out over the rest of the game, by not giving him much to do, so it was a good all round performance.

“Eoin Bradley’s second goal summed that up as it was a great team goal, which Eoin started by winning the ball back on the half-way line and then he goes up and puts it into the back of the net.”
