Vs Linfield Swifts (27th April, Home, League) The Seconds lifted the Reserve League title at Ferney Park on Saturday, and they did it in style with a 4-1 win. The Mallards took the lead when Johnny Hoy's inswinging free kick was flicked into the net by a Linfield defender, but the Belfast side hit straight back when Rodney Brown rounded Fergal Murphy to slot in. Mark Beckett put the Blues ahead again when he converted an Andy Little cross, but then went on to conceed a penalty during an exciting first half. Fergal Murphy was equal to TJ Murray's spot kick however, tipping the shot over the bar. Johnny Hoy added two further goals in the second half before the celebrations began after the final whistle.
