PARKHOUSE ON FIRE AT THE BLANCHFLOWER
David Parkhouse hit all four first half goals as HW Welders swept to victory over Ballinamallard United at the Blanchflower Stadium.
Parkhouse opened the scoring on eight minutes with a great finish after Adam McAleenan and Ewan McCoubrey had combined to create the opening.
The 24-year-old doubled up on 20 minutes with a near post volley with this time Ronan Wilson and Tiarnan O'Connor getting involved in the build up.
He claimed the match ball just short of the half-hour mark with O'Connor once again providing the final ball.
The former Derry City and Ballymena United man then wrapped the scoring up on the stroke of half-time after reacting quickest to the loose ball after Mallards keeper Joel Little had parried a Dylan O'Kane strike.
