Dungannon Swifts Under 20’s travelled to Ballymena United for their first Development League fixture of the season on Wednesday night.
A very young Swifts team led 1-0 at the break with a debut goal for Curtis Hallisey. Curtis headed in from a Rhyss Campbell free kick. Ballymena went on to score two quick goals after the restart and extended their lead midway through the second half to run out eventual 3-1 winners.
A much more experienced Ballymena United deserved their victory but there were lots of positives to take away from the game with Swifts players, Marito Marcal and Peter Bell, showing great promise.
Swifts Team: Luke Mulholland, Jack McIvor, Adam Glenny, Cahal McGinty, Greg McColm, Peter Bell, Paul McElroy, Rhyss Campbell, Bailey Leonard, Marito Marcal & Curtis Hallissey.
Subs: Eoin Gallagher, Calum MacGregor, Odhran Smyth & Fintan Coney.
Next fixture: Wednesday 15th August 2018 at Stangmore Park, v Newry City AFC U20’s Kick off 7.45pm. All support appreciated.

With just two days until the season kicks off at Stangmore Park, Rodney McAree, Head Coach of Dungannon Swifts, has moved to bolster his first team squad with the addition of centre forward player, Marcio Soares.
“Marcio has done extremely well during pre-season, he’s came into the team, worked hard, has shown a great enthusiasm and desire to be part of the group going forward. He is another goal scorer, he’s a centre forward player which gives us more options and competition for places. I think he will prove to be a valuable asset to our squad, from now until the end of this season and hopefully beyond.” Rodney McAree
The twenty-two year old, Portuguese born player has Irish League experience after having being on the books at both Portadown and Crusaders. Soares is looking forward to getting back to life in the Irish League;
“I am very, very delighted to be back in the Irish League, especially playing for a top team like Dungannon swifts FC. I am looking forward to playing for one of the best managers in the League and also to start a new challenge for myself personally.”
Welcome to Stangmore Park, Marcio and we wish you every success in a Swifts shirt.
