 Marty Tabb's Cliftonville secured their Premier Division status |
Cliftonville secured their Premier Division safety with a 1-1 draw at home to Armagh City in the second leg of the Irish League play-off. Friday's result secured a 4-1 aggregate success as Cliftonville had won the first leg comfortably on Tuesday.
Reds keeper Paul Straney got the opener when his 25th minute kick-out bounced over his opposite number Niall Currie who appeared troubled by the low sun.
Armagh skipper Alan Murphy equalised just before half-time.
Murphy saw a header cleared off the line by Liam Fleming in the 66th minute.
Five minutes from the end Cliftonville stalwart Mickey Donnelly came on as a substitute for his final appearance after 17 years with the north Belfast club.
