Ulster Club FC Quarter-final/Ballinderry 0-15 Mayobridge 0-1: Ballinderry sent out a warning to the rest of Ulster with a simply devastating dismantling of Down champions Mayobridge at Maghera yesterday.
Shamrocks were totally in control as they restricted Mayobridge to a single point, from Michael Walsh's 14th minute free.
Points from Michael McIver, Darren Conway, Conleith Gilligan and Raymond Wilkinson gave Ballinderry a 0-4 to 0-1 interval lead. Mayobridge were reduced to 14 men when Brendan Grant was sent off in first-half injury-time for an off-the-ball incident with Enda Muldoon.
The dominant Derry champions added a string of points during a one-sided second half.
