‘Cash have won the Premier Division title on four occasions and the seconds appear set to clinch a second successive Division 1 championship.

It is a great achievement by the club and to be honest one that is unlikely to be equalled never mind bettered.

Colin Mack scored twice in the first half and Gareth Johnston added a second half double.

The one drawback is, of course, that none of the trio can be promoted unless the firsts move to pastures new.

Congratulations to Ballymacash.
