Niall Murray saluted “the desire” of Ballynahinch Olympic after a battling 2-0 win at Islandmagee on Saturday boosted their hopes of staying in the Premier Division.
It’s been a tough campaign to date for Olympic and the new management team of Murray, Barry Reid and Barry McGoran, particularly after a torrid start where they lost seven from their opening eight in all competitions.
But while Murray concedes his club, who led the top flight two years ago before Covid hit, are still far off where he wants them to be, six wins in the intervening period has pushed them up into the relative safety of mid-table.
