The Swifts traveled away for the second match in a row, however their performance was much better than the previous weeks as they rattled in six against Kilroot Rec’s second eleven with goals from Darren Fitzsimmons [3] Alan Massey [2] and Aaron McCaffrey.
This week the Swifts entertain Colin Valley 2nds in a league fixture at The Millbridge.
The Swifts got their season off to a disappointing start when they were defeated 6 – 1 away to a very strong St Lukes team while a very youthful Albion lost to Moneyslane Thirds in the Bobbey Dalzell Cup. Both teams were without key player through injury and illness which did not help.
The 1sts went out of the The Steele & Sons after a 3 nil defeat to a very good Glebe Rangers side. We wish them luck in the next round.
The 3rds got another pre-season match under their belts and beat Rossglass 5-3 at a sunny Millbridge. The score at half time was 1-1 after a cracking goal from Gregg Allison and with second half goals from Matthew Agnew, Alan Masey, Paul King and Grame McMullan meant the very young 3rds side came out on top.
The 2nds game against Ballymacash Rangers was cancelled.
After an unbeaten start to their league campaign the 1sts return to action tomorrow for some Round 1 cup action in The Steele & Sons Cup 2012. Playing away to IFA Championship 2 side Glebe Rangers (Kick-off 2pm) it promises to be a tough test.
The 2nds continue their pre-season preperations with a home friendly against Ballymacash Rangers 2nds. The match starts at 2pm and all 2nds players should be at The Millbridge for 1pm.
The 3rds are also in friendly action against Rossglass at The Millbridge. Kick-off is at 11.30am and all players should be at the clubhouse for 10.45am.
Ballynahinch Utd 1sts beat Downshire 2-1.
The 2nds lost 3-1 in the Quarter Final of the Templeton Cup to Woodvale while the 3rds lost 3-2 at Rathfriland.
