Manager happy with latest win

"That performance was much more like us and I've said that more in recent weeks," said Kearney.

"I have been a bit frustrated recently but I can't say enough about how good that performance was.

"We have been a little stop start this season and a bit inconsistent but we hopefully have put that behind us now.

"We are still the same good side as last year and hopefully have gotten into our stride now because there have been very good signs in recent games.

"I'm over the moon with it and I think that it was a very accomplished performance for the whole team."

With both strikers finding the back of the net Kearney was quick to single both of them out for praise.

"We have been starting to hit the back of the net recently and it's great to see both Niall (Cooke) and Trevor (Hutchinson) find the back of the net.

"Like all strikers they are confidence players and this will give them even more confidence going into the next game.

"We have been doing lots of crossing and shooting in our last seven or eight training sessions.

"It's starting to pay dividends for us and as I have said before it certainly more like the Limavady United I know."

The only minor issue for Kearney in this game was the fact that they conceded a late consolation goal for Ballyclare.

"Yes of course it's a bit disappointing to concede as I felt it was key for us to keep a clean sheet.

"We spoke about it at half-time and all the players know including the front two take pride in a clean sheet.

"They know that the work starts with them and I thought when 'Doc' pulled off that save that we warranted the clean sheet.

"Such is life however and to be perfectly honest I'm not going to worry too lost too much sleep about it."

With Shane Jennings making a welcome return to action the United boss is pleased to see him back.

"Of course it's nice to see him come off the bench today and it's even better to see him not pick up a knock.

"It's probably a week or two too soon but Shane knows his own body and he was adamant he was ready to go.

"It's great to have him back again. He's a great lad and it will give all the players a boost with him coming back.

"Hopefully we can kick on from Saturday's victory now and set ourselves up for a very good season," concluded Kearney.
