Newry City's run of poor form continued on Saturday with visitors Lisburn Distillery leaving the Showgrounds with maximum points.
The game opened slowly for both sides, until Timmy Clarke got behind Newry's defence to swing a perfect cross into the box allowing Darren Bell to get the better of two Newry defenders and place a header over Newry keeper Peter Murphy to put the whites a goal up.
A potential game changer arrived around the half hour mark when Tyrell McCrory's challenge on Thomas McCann was judged worthy of a straight red card. The numerical advantage initially seemed to spur Newry.
But with time running out, Newry were left stunned when a loose pass out of defence was picked up by Timmy Clarke who made some ground before blasting an unstoppable shot past Murphy to double the Lisburn advantage.
The final score was 2-0 to Lisburn Distillery.
