Darren King and David Scullion challenge for the ball

The visitors took the lead after 62 minutes when Stephen Garrett forced the ball over the line at the second attempt from Sean Friars' cross.

Daryl Fordyce equalised with a 25-yard right-foot strike into the top corner on 76 minutes and Jason Hill fired home the winner seven minutes later.

Tony Anderson squandered a chance to level, missing from two yards out.

The first chance of the game fell to Fordyce but he shot wide after Dean Fitzgerald had mishit a Hill cross.

Richard Clarke had Newry's best chance of the first half but was also off target.

After the break, Robert Robinson produced a fine save to deny Gary Hamilton after a defensive error.

Hill's winner was a controversial one as the Newry players had stopped, believing the ball had gone out of play in the build-up to the goal.
