PREMIER League new boys Ards FC may be still be homeless.

But on Friday night they secured their first three points of the season with a two-nil WIN over riding-high Ballymena Utd.

Goals from Roy on 32 minutes and a 70-minute winner from Faulkner helped to lift Ards up to third from bottom basement.

However, that position with depend on Saturday afternoon’s big clash between Glentoran and Linfield.

Neither of Belfast’s ‘Big Two’ teams have fired into life as yet after the first three games.

And Blues boss David Jeffrey is already feeling the heat from the terraces over a disappointing start as he rebuilds a team for the future.
