HONOURS EVEN AT CLANDEBOYE
Ards and Institute shared the spoils in an early December clash at Clandeboye Park.
Scoreless at the break, 'Stute moved in front on 47 minutes when Mark McFadden knocked the ball home after it fell for him inside the six yard box.
But Ards levelled eight minutes later through Ethan Taggart's stylish finish after Salou Jallow teed him up following a good team move.
And Jallow might have secured the win for Matthew Tipton's side right at the end only to be denied by a goalline clearance.
