Lisburn Distillery's miserable start to the season continued as Newry City ran out 4-2 winners at New Grosvenor.

Stephen Garrett scored an 18th minute penalty, Cullen Feeney found the net with a 22nd minute header and Garrett rifled past Paul Murphy on 38 minutes.

Glenn Ferguson pulled one back with a 75th minute spot-kick and Rory Hamill twice rattled the Newry crossbar.

Morgan got his name on the scoresheet on 83 minutes, before Gavin Melaugh grabbed a consolation on the whistle.

Newry's Davy Munster tested Paul Murphy with a header in the early stages and the Whites goalkeeper also tipped over from Feeney.

Garrett scored from the spot after Ferguson challenged his former Linfield team-mate inside the area and then Gary Browne brought a brilliant save from Andy Coleman.

The unmarked Feeney slid the ball home from a Michael Henderson corner, Garrett made it 3-0 and then Morgan also went close before the interval.

Garrett skewed an attempt wide before Ferguson netted for the home side after Ross Black had fouled Gavin Whelan.

Morgan then got his name on the scoresheet and Melaugh scored for the league's basement side.
