“The attitude and commitment of the players in training and games has been phenomenal. Each and everyone are a credit to themselves and the club.

“I believe in the players and having displayed impressive pre-season performances against strong opposition they now believe in themselves.

“We are ready for kick off on Saturday and we cannot wait,” he added.

Jonny Logan, Josh McCready, Ryan Corrigan and Stewart Nixon scored in a 4-1 win over Ballyclare.

An injury to Josh McCready was the only sour note of the night and Southside will hope it’s not as serious as first feared.

At the weekend, Southside beat Orangefiled 3-0 in their final warm-up game. Sam McNeice scored twice, while Corey McDowell also scored.
