Football results: Corinthians held by 10-man Old Boys as Pully suffer first defeat

Corinthians and Douglas High School Old Boys battled to a 2-2 draw at Ballafletcher on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors took a well-deserved point from the Canada Life Premier League match despite playing the majority of the encounter with only 10 men after James McStay was sent off for an off-the-ball incident after 35 minutes.

Prior to that Sean Doyle had headed the Whites ahead only for Robbie Ward to level things up from the penalty spot.

Gary Quirk actually put the visitors ahead midway through the second half with a pearler from 25 yards only for Doyle to restore parity once more when he scored his second header of the match.St George's and St Mary's remain the top flight's only undefeated sides after they both claimed comfortable victories.Geordies beat Laxey 9-1 with Furo Davies netting five goals for the reigning champions.
