Watch: Shane McGinty on target as Ballymena qualify for CAS semi-finals

SHANE MCGINTY was on the mark last night with a super goal as Ballymena United reached the quarter-finals of the County Antrim Shield.

Ballymena needed a penalty shoot-out, but the Blues prevailed 3-2 on spot kicks.

St Johnston man McGinty’s sweetly-struck effort, with his left foot, gave Ballymena the lead against Crusaders on 12 minutes. 

A cracker by David Cushley levelled things up for Crusaders on 32 minutes. 

McGinty was replaced at the end of full time and Ballymena went on to win 3-2 on penalties. 

Ballymena will be joined in the semi-finals by H&W Welders, Glentoran and Cliftonville.
