The westerners failed to clear a home side’s corner before Smith at the far post fired the ball home to make it 1-0. Then, only 10 minutes later, the lead was doubled when Smith produced a perfectly-judgedeffort from distance that cleverly beat Owen Dawson’s despairing dive. The visitors, though, never gave up and at times had the home defence at full stretch. The hosts had a number of defenders that stood out, including Stuart Foley, Haydn Waddington andDanSmithwhoall stuck diligently to their task.

It was a goal five years in the making and one to truly sa- vour in the Canada Life Pre- mier League on Saturday afternoon. Ramsey’s Jamie Corlett produced a man-of-the- match performance and scoreda91st-minutewinner against UnionMills at Balla- cloan Stadium to maintain the northerners’ victorious start to the season. You had to go back as far backasOctober 1, 2016when the northern defender last found the target when scor- ing for the island in the FA Youth Cup against Lanca- shire. An entertaining match very much reflected the clubs’ ambitions who are wanting to make their mark in the Premier League this season,withplentyofchanc- esbeingcreatedthroughout. AlthoughRamseyenjoyed possession early on, Union Mills had a glorious chance to take the lead on seven minutes. Jack Murray was trippedbygoalkeeperJames Rice in the penalty area, but theshot-stoppermadeupfor hismisdemeanourbysaving RyanKelly’s spot-kick. It proved to be a frustrat- ing day for the strikers who couldn’t find their shooting boots. The visitors imposed themselvesmidway through the first half but the hosts finished the first period the stronger. They went close when Chris Duggan pickpocketed Owen Quayle but his effort rebounded off the post be- fore it was collected by Ma-

On 91 minutes, Ramsey were awarded a free-kick on the left and Higgins’ set- piecewasflickedon towards the near post.
