Loughgall and Annagh United continue to hold the upper hand at the top of the Lough 41 Championship with Dundela just behind following victories on Saturday afternoon.

Ballyclare Comrades, HW Welders and Warrenpoint Town also picked up three points apiece from the fifth round of games.

The Villagers lead the way on goal difference, although they did need a first half own goal to get the better of Dergview at Lakeview Park.

Annagh swept to a much more emphatic 4-1 win away to Newington however. The Swans actually led when Darren Stuart found the net after just three minutes but Conor Mullen levelled with around a quarter-of-an-hour on the clock.

Craig Taylor then edged Annagh in front early in the second half with Aaron Rogers adding a third soon after before an own goal completed the scoring before the hour.

Dundela, in third, defeated Ballinamallard United by the odd goal in three at Ferney Park.

Eamon Fyfe kicked things off on 11 minutes but Caolan McAleer knocked home the equaliser on the half-hour ... which was how it stayed until Rhys Annett popped up with the winner just after the hour mark.

HW Welders enjoyed a fruitful afternoon with a five-goal haul at home to Institute. Under the watchful eye of caretaker boss Robert Robinson, the Welders needed just four minutes to open the scoring through Charlie Dornan with Michael McLellan and Adam Wright also finding the net in the first half. Then, after the break, Oisin Barr added a fourth before McLellan wrapped it up with his second of the afternoon.

Warrenpoint Town came from behind to claim the points from Ards' visit to Milltown. Eamon Scannell had opened the scoring for the visitors just after the half-hour mark but goals early in the second half from Steven Ball and Alan O'Sullivan edged it for 'Point.

Meanwhile, at Dixon Park, Ballyclare Comrades got the better of Knockbreda as the sides produced five goals.

Darius Roohi opened the scoring for the home side from the spot on nine minutes but Ross McCaughan and Karl Hamill found the net for 'Breda just after the hour before later finishes from substitute Cathal Farren and Joe Tully made sure for Ballyclare.
