They needed just ten minutes to open the scoring when Peter Thompson rose unchallenged to nod home a free header from a Damien Curran free-kick almost at the corner flag.

Number two arrived a minute from the break when a Stephen Douglas cross was headed goalward by Glenn Ferguson although Thompson appeared to get the final touch as the ball fell on the line.

The Sky Blues might have pulled one back in the opening exchanges of the second half when Albert Watson headed on a Stephen Lowry corner only for Pat McShane to clear the ball off the line.
