SML round-up: Has Carniny’s first defeat handed title advantage to Saints?

THE momentum in the race for the Tower Blinds Ballymena Saturday Morning League title may have swung in All Saints Old Boys’ favour after a potentially pivotal weekend.

Saints duly maintained their steady progress at the top of the table with a 3-1 win over Shore Wanderers as they attempt to set a points target for their chasers to surpass.

And the Showgrounds side were buoyed further by news that defending champions Carniny Rangers suffered their first league defeat of the season at the hands of ‘Big Two’ rivals Harryville Homers in a dress rehearsal for the sides’ forthcoming County Antrim Junior Shield final.
