The Drumahoe club have been relegated after just one season back in the top flight. Institute managed only four wins all season and have not manafed a victory since October.

Allan Teggart scored a 41st-minute penalty only for Stephen Curry to level the scores with a glancing header just four minutes later.

A headed own goal from Mark Forker in the 50th minute secured Ballymena’s fourth consecutive Premiership win.

The Sky Blues made a bright start as David Cushley drilled a free-kick just over the bar.

Robbie Hume blazed wide for the hosts, then Cushley saw another free-kick deflected over.

Teggart, restored to Glenn Ferguson’s starting line-up, made no mistake from the spot after Matthew Tipton had been pushed inside the box.

Mark Forker directed the ball into the net for the decisive own goal.
