Ballymena Rams!

United make the journey to Donegal Celtic situated In Suffolk, deep in west Belfast tomorrow night, for the 2nd round of the County Antrim Shield. The first division club, who lost narrowly to Dungannon Swifts in a league play-off will be no pushover and that's for sure. United must do without the services of central defender Albert Watson who has a fractured jaw, thanks to the non-protection of referee Adrian McCourt who aided and abetted Linfield in their quest to injure the United defender on Saturday, by his reluctance to caution players. We expect United to put out a fairly strong team tomorrow night, but there may be a recall for 1st choice keeper Sean O'Neill as Nelson appears to be carrying an injury. The good news is that top scorer Kevin Kelbie is available for selection and Phillip Carson should return after serving a one-match suspension in centre midfield. Noel Anderson may retain his starting role as Ormo failed to impress at Windsor and the manager will require either Anderson or Aiden Watson to stomp their authority on the match. One things sure, whoever plays will know they've been in a game, so come on Sky Blues, let's shag those Suffolk sheep!
