Michael Halliday was on target in Glentoran's league win

The Glens moved into joint second place in the JJB Sports Premier League after easing past basement club Ballymena.

David Scullion (15) hit the bottom corner before Thomas Wray diverted a cross (24) into his own goal.

Michael Halliday (28) lifted the ball over keeper Sean O'Neill to make it 3-0 and Colin Nixon (43) converted a penalty after Gary Haveron's handball.

United improved after the break and Albert Watson struck a post before Kevin Kelbie (64) shot home.
