Knockbreda 1-0 Armagh City
City fell to a second consecutive defeat for the first time since November, but can count themselves unlucky not to have come away with a point after a spirited performance against high-flying Knockbreda on Saturday.
The game kicked off in glorious sunshine in east Belfast, with City’s lineup boasting the return of Ultan Lennon, and the recently re-signed Shane Mulgrew, who took his place at the heart of the midfield.

Armagh City 0-4 Ballyclare Comrades
A very youthful Armagh City side suffered a Championship 2 setback against Ballyclare Comrades at Holm Park on New Year's Eve. A clinical performance by the visitors saw then score twice in each half to win their sixth game in seven outings. A late penalty and the sending-off of full-back Michael O'Neill after 70 minutes also added to City's woes.
Matters began badly for Armagh when teenager Chris Maxwell was sidelined with a leg injury with less than 10 minutes gone. And moments later City were 1-0 down when a poor passage of defensive play gifted the ball to Ballyclare's Mark McClelland who hammered home a low 12-yard shot.
