Brown nets in win over Brantwood

A solitary early strike by Gary Brown at Skegoneill Avenue secured a win for Ballyclare Comrades in their penultimate pre-season friendly on Tuesday evening.

Only two minutes were on the watch when Brown closed down the Brantwood keeper as he attempted a clearance, and stroked the ball in to the net.

Ten minutes later Comrades had to call up Andrew Doyle from the bench when Darren Doherty limped off with a shin injury.

The Reds had the major share of possession, but inaccurate passing in the final third of the pitch failed to produce clear-cut scoring chances.
