The Score - Results Business

The Score NI

It's a results business. For table-toppers Ballymena United, whose impressive winning streak started against Glenavon, this weekend is about trying to ensure their run isn't ended by the Lurgan Blues. Joining us from the Sky Blues is former Northern Ireland international Danny Lafferty, who was one of their summer recruits.

After a bumpy patch of three defeats in all competitions, Crusaders have responded with three consecutive wins across the league and Co. Antrim Shield and have been helped by the goals of defender Jarlath O'Rourke who chats to us about their recent performances and a second match of the week against Linfield.

Whilst for Newry City, a poor start to the season has seen a managerial change. Darren Mullen brought a great deal of success in his previous tenure, so can lightning strike twice? He discusses why he said yes to a return to the Showgrounds dugout.
