Newry 1-3 Ballinamallard

The Mallards closed the gap at the top of the Bluefin Sport Championship with a fabulous away victory.

With a defeat for Loughgall and Portadown also dropping points it means that Harry McConkey's men are two points off second and first positions.

It was a fantastic start with Matthew Smyth and Ross Taheny both heading in Duwayne McManus corners to give an early two nil lead.

Mark McCabe did pull a goal back before half time for the hosts but when they were reduced to 10 men after the break, the Ducks took full advantage.

Ryan Campbell netted a third to seal victory and cap a comprehensive performance.

Dergview, who were defeated today, are the visitors next Saturday to Ferney Park
