Ards will include two new captures in the travelling party bound for Ballinamallard tomorrow, one defender and one new striker.

Both men were fringe players at Dungannon Swifts with 23 year-old striker Ronnie Burns attracting a fair bit of interest from a couple of clubs over the past number of days. However he agreed on a deal with Ards following Thursday night training and the former Ballyclare player could well feature on Saturday.

Evan Forsythe is 6'3 centre-half who has a similar career history to Burns. He too arrives from Stangmore Park, having signed for them from Ballyclare. He spent some five years with the East Antrim club, turning out for Ballynure Old Boys along the way and was part of Northern Ireland amateur squad that competed in the last UEFA Regions Cup competition.

Finally, Tommy Kincaid is happy to reveal that Ryan Newberry has extended his stay at the club by signing a new one year deal. The 17 year-old broke into the Ards first team at the beginning of the season and has enjoyed a resurgence under Tommy's management.
