DUNGANNON 1 DISTILLERY 0
Emmet Friars snatched a late winner as Dungannon Swifts pushed Lisburn Distillery deeper into the relegation mire with this crucial victory.
The defender settled a pulsating match when he struck 12 minutes from the end, powering home a header from Ryan Harpur’s corner.
It puts third-bottom Dungannon 10 points clear of Tim McCann’s basement boys – a sizeable gap for a Distillery side that have taken just 11 points all season.
Dungannon dominated the first half, with new signing James Costello proving a real handful.
But Distillery improved after half-time. Andy Hunter spurned their best chance when he headed wide from Aaron Traynor’s cross.
