Colin Malone saw his Armagh team claim three league points

Basement club Ards dominated the first half with Ian McGrath heading wide from a Jason Hill free-kick.

City took control after the break and Anto Reilly gave them a 77th minute lead when he fired home after keeper Ian Lester parried David Ward's shot.

Ward sealed the points three minutes later when his shot slipped through the hands and legs of Lester.

It was a mixed game for Lester, who also pulled off two great saves in the second half.

Ards remain without a point from six games while Colin Malone's Armagh side chalked up their third win of the campaign.
