TWO LATE GOALS HAND NEWRY THE WIN
Newry City picked up a crucial three points in the battle to avoid the drop with victory over Irish Cup semi-finalists Ards at The Showgrounds.
Scoreless at the break, and for most of the game, Darren Mullen's side edged in front on 79 minutes when Alex O'Brien found the net on the counter attack.
Ryan McNickle then doubled up for City just a couple of minutes after that.
