Ballymena take on Glentoran tonight for a place in the semi-finals of the County Antrim Shield.

But after losing three of their last five games including last week’s 4-0 thumping at the hands of Glenavon, Ballymena have slumped to eighth in the Danske Bank Premiership.

David Jeffrey said his side needed to start improving soon.

And he said they need to start showing they were no last-season one-hit wonders.

“That’s the question I am putting to them now – did you overachieve last year? Because achievers achieve time on time,” he said.

“The mantra is very very simple.

“We come here with one long term goal and that is to win a league title. To do that you have got to be winners more than losers.”

Meanwhile, Carrick Rangers take on Dundela at the Loughshore Hotel Arena in the shield quarter final.

Both games kick off at 7.45
