Magic four on the spin for Swifts

- BY LAURE JAMES

DUNGANNON SWIFTS go into the European play-off in form, following an impressive run of four straight victories.

They claimed a 2-0 win over PORTADOWN yesterday to remain in seventh.

Terry Fitzpatric­k and Chris Hegarty did the damage against the already relegated Ports.

The Swifts will now travel to BALLYMENA

UNITED to fight for a spot in the Europa League, after the Sky Blues lifted themselves to fourth with a 1-1 draw with

COLERAINE.

Kofi Balmer was on target for the Sky Blues to cancel out Jamie McGonigle’s opener for their local rivals.

ARDS finished ahead of their final opposition,

GLENTORAN, after a fairly entertaini­ng 1-1 draw at the Oval.

Kyle Cherry’s opener was matched by Eric Foley but enough to keep Ards in eighth.

It was the Ryan game at Ferney Park as three different Ryan’s – Mayse, Curran and Morris – scored four goals betweenn them as BALLINAMAL­LARD UNITED stuck four past

CARRICK RANGERS in a 4-1 win.

The bottom three finished unchanged – the Mallards safe in 10th, followed by Rangers and Portadown in 11th and bottom respective­ly.
