Ben Wilson scored a double for Cliftonville against Ballymena United

Jim Ervin’s Sky Blues have now only one win in nine League starts.
The Reds required merely 19 minutes to forge into the lead. Chris Gallagher picked the pocket of United new boy Dylan Boyle, who was making his debut after signing from Fleetwood Town, before finding Rory Hale.
