Further tries followed from Ben Fleming, Connor Drain and Daniel Rogers in the first half with McBurney converting two to give Ballymena a 0 – 26 lead at the break.
The visitors crossed three times in the second half with McBurney crossing for a try before Drain and Robinson crossed for a second each.
