BANGOR FC Ladies settled for a share of the spoils for the first time in this season’s NIWFA Championship when they recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Ballymena United Women at The Showgrounds.
On the Seasiders’ second trip up the M2 this term, having previously been defeated on penalties by the Sky Blues in the NIWFA Championship Cup, they fell behind early here before recovering to take a point down the road and remain third-placed in the league standings.
Ballymena took the lead eight minutes in when Megan Henry hit the target and Braid skipper Natasha Bamford doubled the advantage nine minutes later which left Chris Dougan’s side with a mountain to climb.
But Bangor responded through a goal from the penalty spot by Amanda Morton – her fourth in three matches – and fellow midfielder Janine Jess netted the equaliser shortly before the hour mark that ensured the visitors took home a point, moving up to 28 points in the table with just four league matches left to play.
