FOUR down and one to go. That’s Ballyclare Comrades’ position in their quest to complete a February clean sweep.

Eddie Hill’s lads are bang on course to win all five February fixtures boosting their Championship 2 promotion prospects.

Victories against Moyola Park, Portstewart, PSNI and a 6-1 thrashing of Killymoon Rangers on Saturday leave only this weekend’s opponents, Annagh United, capable of stopping a five-in-a-row run

“The Annagh match will be the most difficult of the month,” Hill told the Times. “They have several players with Premiership experience, including Shay Campbell the former Ballymena United and Linfield striker, so this will be a massive challenge.

“We beat them 3-1 at Dixon Park, and they will be going all out for revenge, and I think I will have a few selection problems owing to players being unavailable for a variety of reasons.

“On Saturday against Killymoon we were without Craig Reid, Chris Getty, Chris Monteith, Gary Brown, Ross Earley and the captain Ricky Higgins. Some of them are likely to out for the trip to Annagh.
