Newry City has secured promotion to the NIFL Premiership, just six years after going out of business.
Darren Mullen’s men sealed a phenomenal fourth promotion in five seasons on Wednesday evening after defeating Carrick Rangers in the promotion/relegation play-off.
Newry led 3-2 from the first leg at the Showgrounds on Friday evening and followed that up with a stunning 3-1 victory in the away leg on Wednesday to seal the deal, winning 6-3 on aggregate.
