In the first half Newry's Cormac McArdle saw his attempt saved by Marc Robinson while at the other end Johnny Black shot over with a 20-yard effort.

After the break James Willis was clean through on goal after a mistake by Glenn Waddell but scuffed his shot at the vital moment.

Waddell was sent-off for pulling down Richard Clarke on the edge of the penalty area on 83 minutes.
