COMRADES HIT WELDERS WITH SECOND HALF DOUBLE
Two second half goals saw Ballyclare Comrades defeat HW Welders at the Blanchflower Stadium.
Although scoreless at the break, the Welders created the better opportunities in the first half with Tiarnan O'Connor perhaps coming closest when his 25-yard free-kick clipped the crossbar midway through.
The visitors moved in front seven minutes after the break, however, when Brian Healy spotted keeper Jack Mills off his line and duly lifted the ball over him from distance.
Then, 20 minutes after that, Michael Morgan made sure of the points for Ballyclare after holding off a couple of defenders before sliding the ball home at the far post.
