Newry City enjoyed a successful first game back in the ranks of the Irish League this afternoon with a 3-2 win against Moyola Park at the Showgrounds!

Goals from Timmy Grant, Marty Havern and Man of the Match Mark Hughes gave the hosts a resounding 3-0 lead going into the closing stages of this encounter before two quick-fire Moyola goals in the last few minutes ensured there would be a nervous finish to the match. But thankfully Newry held on to claim a historic win. Full match report to follow.
