It's as you were at the top of the Lough 41 Premier Intermediate League following victories for the top four while, at the other end, PSNI came off the bottom with a win at Tobermore United.

Armagh City continue to lead the way courtesy of a 3-0 home win over Lisburn Distillery. Scoreless at the break, a 16-minute goal blitz midway through the second half saw Padraig Judge, Ruairi Duffy and Stefan Lavery all find the net for Shea Campbell's side.

Bangor remain second, four points adrift, after defeating Moyola Park by the odd goal in three at Mill Meadow. Mark Cooling edged the Seasiders in front with a first half spot-kick before Elliot McKim levelled early in the second half. However, Jordan Hughes struck with five minutes to go to ensure the points went back to north Down.

It also took a late goal for Newington to get the better of Banbridge Town at Solitude. Darren Stuart bagged the only goal of the game on 82 minutes, but the visitors will also rue not scoring from Christopher McMahon's 35th minute spot-kick saved by Marc Maybin.

Limavady United stay fourth after their 2-0 win away to Dollingstown. Alex Pomeroy opened the scoring on six minutes with a successfully converted penalty before Ryan Doherty doubled their lead just before the hour.

Meanwhile, at Fortwilliam Park, the battle of the bottom two saw PSNI come from behind to leapfrog Tobermore United. The home side had led from the 14th minute through Conor Kearns but two goals in quick succession early in the second half from Ryan Woods and Jake Moore saw the visitors claim the points.
