Carrick Rangers claimed a fourth win in their last five league meetings with Ballymena United after David Cushley’s second-half winner gave them a 1-0 win at the Showgrounds.
Ballymena were awarded a penalty in the 13th minute after referee Steven Gregg adjudged that Jim Ervin had fouled David McDaid but Paul McElroy’s spot kick lacked pace and was comfortably saved low to his right by Ross Glendinning.
Alex Gawne’s curling shot for Carrick was saved by substitute United keeper Sean O’Neill, while Emmet McGuckin glanced a header wide from a David Cushley cross.
The opener came on 52 minutes when Gawne challenged for a ball in the Ballymena penalty area and when the ball popped loose, Cushley was on hand to steer a shot into the corner of the net.
