Loughgall captain Ben Murdock said that individuals in his side must “recognise their mistakes” after their heavy 5-1 defeat against Cliftonville.

Cliftonville were 3-0 ahead at half-time after three goals in eight minutes from Joe Gormley, Kris Lowe and Jonny Addis.

Nathaniel Ferris pulled a goal back for the Villagers before a Taylor Stevens’ double in the second half rounded off the win for the Reds.

And Murdock admits they were worthy winners as they capitalised on Loughgall’s mistakes at Lakeview Park.

“It was a very difficult game and the scoreline reflects that,” he told BBC Sport NI.

“Credit to Cliftonville they were very good passed us off the park and deservingly got three points, they moved the ball well and had runners from midfield.

“I think we have to hold our hands up and be accountable for the goals, me included, it’s my man [Addis] for the corner and I think individuals have to recognise their mistakes and try learn from them.”
