In Northern Ireland's National League for 'elite' sides the 15s had a comfortable 5-0 win over Irish League Academy side, Glenavon whilst the 14s saw off neighbours Chimney Corner by the narrowest of margins with a goal from Kyle Beggs.

Meanwhile up at Ballykeel the young under 11s also secured all three points with a hard fought 2-0 win over Larne Youth.

The 16s and 13s crashed out of the NIBFA Cup and the 12s lost their 'away' National League game to Glenavon.

Putting matters into perspective though, the most disappointing incident was the serious injury to the senior team's goalkeeper in the County Antrim Junior Shield and everyone attached to the club wish Anthony a speedy recovery.
