Rory Hamill was on target for Cliftonville in the league clash

A Rory Hamill strike secured a point for the Reds in the midtable JJB Sports Premiership game at Clandeboye Park.

The Seasiders took a 17th minute when striker Marty Verner headed in from Dean Youle's cross.

Hamill levelled three minutes before the break with a rebound finish after Chris Scannell's shot came off the bar.

Keeper Andrew Plummer denied Scannell and Hamill while Paul McDowell wasted a good chance for Bangor and Reds forward Mark Holland fired wide in injury-time.

"After how we played in the first half I'm happy with a draw," said Cliftonville manager Eddie Patterson.

"Over the past month we've clawed our way up from second bottom to eighth.

"It's all credit to the players and the work they've done - once we were second bottom they have been excellent.

"Hopefully it's a turning point for Cliftonville this season."
