<\/a><\/p>\nOn the stroke of half-time Newington managed to find the net once again and double their lead going into the break.<\/p>\n
Seamus Duffy\u2019s goal came from a touch of class after Jay Donnelly perfectly placed a ball through to Duffy, whose curling effort saw the ball fly into the top corner with the outside of his left boot.<\/p>\n
NIFL player of the week Aaron Heaney was a thorn in the Queen’s side all day proving to be a constant threat on the wing for most of the contest.<\/p>\n
Queens pulled a goal back on the 78th minute that gave the ‘Ton a nervy end to the half.<\/p>\n
A whipped corner proved too tough for the hosts to deal with and after three attempts at goal the ball fell to Withers who cracked a half-volley and found the inside of the post and halved the deficit.<\/p>\n
Queen’s thought they had grabbed an equaliser right at the death only for substitute Fra Rice to pull off a game-saving block preventing a certain goal in the dying minutes of the game and securing the three points for the hosts.<\/p>\n
The 2-1 victory helps Newington secure a massive three points and leaves them top of the NIFL Championship after just three games.<\/p>\n
Newington are back in action once again next weekend at home with Solitude the venue as they are set to face Rathfriland Rangers in a 3pm kick-off.<\/p>\n
