NIXON'S SPOT-KICK DOUBLE HELPS SEND STUDENTS TO THE TOP
Queen's University moved to the top of the Playr-Fit Premier Intermediate League with victory over morning leaders Ballymacash Rangers at The Dub.
Scoreless at the break, Lorcan McIlroy opened the scoring on 46 minutes with a tap in after Johnny Mairs had laid a David Elliott pass into his path.
Then, just before the hour, Stewart Nixon doubled up from the spot awarded after he had been upended in the box.
And Nixon struck again right at the end with his second penalty of the afternoon, this time after Mikey Withers had been brought down.
