BALLYMENA United won their second pre-season friendly in a row, coming back from a goal down to win with goals from Leroy Millar and Ryan Mayse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was a much feistier affair than the game against Cardiff Met last Friday evening, and it was the visitors who took the lead through a Jon Hood goal which was smashed low and hard past Glendinning in the 17th minute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The score was level after 28 minutes when Leroy Millar rose highest to rattle a header in from a Steven McCullough corner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Half-time seen the first of what turned out to be many substitutions from both sides, and it was a master stroke by United manager David Jeffrey, bringing on Shane McGinty and almost immediately he cut the ball back to Ryan Mayse who found the bottom corner of the net.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both sides had a few key chances during the remainder of the game, but some resolute defending ensured the Sky Blues ran out 2-1 winners.
