Ryan McCreadie scored his sixth goal of the season

Stuart King's 48th-minute equaliser earned Ballymena a point at Institute.

King's left-foot drive from 35 yards deflected off home defender David Ogilby and past Alan Ryan and United then dominated the rest of the match.

King's early low drive was easily dealt with by Ryan, Ryan McCreadie had a good chance and Michael Ward was denied by Ogilby's goal-line clearance.

McCreadie hammered home a Martin Cuttmore cross after 28 minutes for his sixth goal of the season.
