HEALY DOUBLE GIVES COMRADES THE EDGE
Michael Morgan and Brian Healy found the net as Ballyclare Comrades defeated Ards at Clandeboye Park.
Morgan opened the scoring on eight minutes with a curling finish into the far corner after cutting in from the left.
Healy bagged Ballyclare’s second on 17 minutes when he made no mistake from Marcus Murphy’s lay-off.
Aidan Steele reduced the deficit for Ards soon after on the rebound following an initial save by Gerard Walker, but Healy restored Ballyclare’s two-goal cushion a few from the break after tapping home Liam Hassin’s cross.
