Useful point secured in Ballybofey tonight by the Youths after a battling performance in match of relatively few chances. Flu apparently took a few of the starters out from last week, notably CJ and Rocks, and Youths started with Graham, Jimmy, Jamie, Gary, Corkey, Deano, Glenn, Shane, Eric, Crokey and with Joey up front. First fifteen was fairly dull with Harps shading it and during which Joey got a yellow for a tackle. First decent effort was on the fifteen mark when Brolly made space down his left wing but shot wide. McMonagle then went off for Harps with Doherty coming on. On the 22 mark, Harps had another effort wide from a shot from outside the box. McVeigh then picked up a yellow for a tackle and with six to go best chance fell to the Youths when Joey was found down the channel with a quick free-kick but his dink on the turn went just wide. With four to go a Harps free bounced round the Youths box but never fell to a Harps player and right on the blow, Shane Nolan had a free just over the bar after a Harps yellow fora pull-back for 0-0 at half-time. Harps had just shaded the first 45 but very few decent chances created on either side.
