OUR LAST RESULT...
NORTHERN IRELAND - 4 Georgia - 1
NORTHERN Ireland rounded the season off on a positive note with a comfortable 4-1 defeat of
Georgia at Windsor Park in this Nationwide International Challenge match.
Northern Ireland moved in front after 24 minutes when Healy won the ball some 25 yards
from goal, played it forward to Steve Davis who, in turn, knocked it on for Kyle Lafferty to finish low past the keeper.
And Healy went one better just eight minutes later to make it 2-0. Once again he collected
the ball in the middle of the park and, showing his natural scoring instincts, unleashed a superbly struck effort which took
a slight deflection off Kahka Kaladze on its way into the net.
Then, barely three minutes later, 'Sir David' played his part in Northern Ireland's third.
He turned provider to deliver an inch perfect cross which strike partner Lafferty headed home from eight yards out.
Georgia pulled a goal back nine minutes into the second half.
It was somewhat fitting, that Thompson - the leading marksman domestically - completed the
scoring with just three minutes remaining when he got the final touch as the ball rattled around the area from a corner.
