Joy for Joe as Wills earns last gasp winner for Sandy Row
Stephen Baxter made the run and Joe Wills added the finishing touch to give Sandy Row a last minute victory away to Glaston in the South Antrim League Premier Division.
Glaston had got off to a good start when Jim Mullen netted early on, but Terence Morrison equalised with a 35 yard shot near the half-time whistle.

But Paul O’Callaghan had other ideas and he put Glaston level close to the end.
The goal appeared to have earned Glaston a share of the spoils but again the game took a twist when Wills netted the winner with the last kick of the game.
Sandy Row manager, Stephen Scott, thought they deserved full points, though he admitted they thought they had lost out.
