ARDS BACK TO WINNING WAYS
Ards picked up a first win in eight league outings with victory over Dergview at Darragh Park.
Ethan Taggart opened the scoring midway through the first half after being played through after Adam Salley, Salou Jallow and Patrick Cafolla combined to create the opening.
Dergview levelled just a couple of minutes after that courtesy of a Garth Falconer header but Ards regained the advantage just after the half-hour mark when Adam Salley converted from the spot following a foul on Eamon Scannell.
Ards skipper TJ Murray then extended the visitors' advantage with a 52nd minute header.
The home side reduced the deficit on 63 minutes through Jamie Browne but, despite having an extra man following Christopher Crane's dismissal with just over a quarter-of-an-hour to go, they couldn't find the equaliser.
