NEFL Premier Division
Rock Celtic 8-0 Ardee Celtic
David Ward scored a hat-trick as Rock Celtic sent a young Ardee Celtic side to their eighth straight league defeat at Sandy Lane on Friday night.
First half goals from Ciarán Clarke, Ward and Seán Hand had the hosts 3-0 clear at the break - despite Ardee having traded evenly on the chance front during an entertaining half.
But Ward put the game beyond the visitors with two strikes early in the second half, before Hand and substitute Ronan Sands (2) put the gloss on the scoreline, with the Deesiders also missing a spot-kick.
