One-all draw for OVA, Norths

Two of the top sides in the New England Mutual Premier League, Oxley Vale Attunga and North Armidale, played out a tightly contested 1-all draw at Norths’ Field in Armidale last Saturday.
Very little separates the two teams but you would have to say that OVA were slightly on top in the first half, keeping Norths on the back foot in their own half. Both sides had few chances on goal. However, at around the 20th minute, Luke Purcell scored for OVA.
Norths managed to keep themselves in the game, digging deep against the physical OVA outfit.
Norths were fortunate deep in the second half, to get an own goal by OVA, allowing them to sneak away with a 1-all draw.
In other Round 12 Premier League games, Demon Knights defeated South Armidale 2-1, Gunnedah United played out a 1-all draw witht East Armidale and Tamworth FC defeated Joeys FC United 5-2.
