Newry started the new year as they finished the last with a well deserved win away from home. With only three games remaining Newry are sitting in second position in the league and still need to host league leaders, Queens, in the coming weeks.
Lisnagarvey started the game with their usual fluid passing but were unable to break Newry down, the visitors were getting joy with their more direct approach and it didn’t take long before captain Simon McCafferty put Newry ahead. Newry created plenty of chances in the first half with Noah Lutton and Josh Porter both having great opportunities but were unable to convert.
As the match wore on Newry began to dominate more and again create chances, however the ‘Garvey goal keeper was in fine form keeping out attempts from Corey Large, Gareth Moffett and Steven Graham. The lead was a slender one but Newry used their experience to wind down the clock and take all three points.
Team: R. Henning, I. Lutton, J. Lawson, D. Barlow, M. McCullough, J. Greer, J. Porter, S. Blakley, G. Moffett, S. Moffett, S. McCafferty, S. Graham, N. Lutton, M. McCullough, J. Lutton, C. Large
