‘It was a case of get the points and get ready for next week’
Tumilty took the chance to rest three key players in the build-up to next week’s key clash with Lisnagarvey and was delighted to get out of the match unsctahed.
“It was just a case of get in, get the points and get ourselves ready for next week, to be honest,” he said.

“It wasn’t a great game because of the wild weather conditions but I thought Newry deserved a lot of credit because they worked very hard. I certianly think they’ll survive ok if they keep playing like that.”
“Our lads did fairly well. I thought Jamie Wright in particular was very good. Fraser Mills did well too and it was great to see Stevie Dowds scoring goals again. He’s on an incredible run.”
