Ethan stars on Second XI debut

FOUR wickets on debut for teenage leg spinner Ethan Archer and half centuries from William Montgomery and Jeff Martin helped Ballymena Seconds cruise to a seven wickets victory over Instonians II at Shaw's Bridge on Saturday.

After four successive defeats this was a must win for Neil Fullerton's side and the comfortable triumph sees them sit mid-table in Division Two Section One with five wins from ten starts.

At one stage the home side, who elected to bat first, were heading for a total well in excess of 230 as they were 137 for two with 15 overs remaining. But then Archer struck.
