CARNBANE LEAGUE: Archview stun Villa Rovers
Villa Rovers 4
Archview United 5
Villa Rovers’ poor start to the Carnbane League Premier Division continued on Saturday, as they were second best to Archview United in an instant classic.
Last year’s Premier Division runners-up had a dream first half, as former Camlough Rovers man Aodhan Conlon opened the scoring, before Aaron Boyle made it 2-0 just after the half hour mark.

Hide AdDean Rice pulled one back for Archview, but after Eoin Devine’s goal, Villa took a 3-1 lead into the break and appeared to be cruising.
That wasn’t the case however, as former Windmill star Marty Havern scored two goals in the space of five second half minutes to level proceedings.
Danny Cushnan’s side seemed to compose themselves when Joe Campbell put them back in front, but in the last 10 minutes the newly-promoted side hit the net twice to seal an unforgettable win. First, David Hankin equalised on 82 minutes, before Havern notched his hat trick and Archview’s fifth to see them leave with the three points.
