BALLYCLARE WIN IT IN THE END

Ballyclare Comrades grabbed a late winner to defeat Ards in an entertaining encounter at Dixon Park.

Darius Roohi fired the Comrades in front on 27 minutes with a curling effort from 16 yards after his initial effort had been blocked.

Ards levelled a minute into the second half through Patrick Cafolla after the ball had been played in from the left but Roohi restored Ballyclare's lead just before the hour from close range for his second of the evening.

The visitors hit back again on 69 minutes through Ross Arthurs' header at the near post but, right at the end, Gary Donnelly bagged the winner with a great finish into the far corner from the left side of the box.
