EAGLES HIT BACK TO SECURE PLAY-OFF SPOT

Armagh City stormed back from two goals down at the break to defeat Lisburn Distillery at Holm Park and secure their place in the play-offs.

Shea Campbell's needed a draw to be sure of booking their spot to face Dergview for a place in the Championship next week, but fell behind after just eight minutes when Ryan McNickle fired the Whites in front.

And it got worse for the Eagles just after the half-hour mark when McNickle doubled his tally to put the visitors two-up.

They thought they'd pulled a goal back after the break when Dermot McCaffrey found the net but his effort was ruled out offside.

But they did reduce the deficit through Stefan Lavery a short time later, and were handed a further boost when Distillery were reduced to ten men following Dean Lewis' dismissal for a foul on Jordan King.

They made their extra man count almost straight away with Lavery's second of the game before Bradley Okaidja popped up with the winner.
