CALLUM Biggart's goal in the 88th minute earned the Heights their first league victory of the season as they left it late to beat Inspired Community FC 3-2 at Moyola Park.
Adey Anjorin’s side went a goal ahead in the first half through Haydar Abbdia on the 15th minute when he headed from a cross in off the post to give the home team the advantage.
The Heights were left a little shell shocked going a goal down; having maintained a good half of possession but finding it difficult to break down the defence who lay deep in their own half looking to counter attack.

As the second half started both teams came out in search of the next goal and Heights didn’t have to wait too long when Caleb Wan rounded the keeper Okotie and scored into an empty net.
Shortly after Mark Edgar tested the goalkeeper from 20 yards, only to be denied by the upright.
The defence of Pollock, Steele, Biggart and Bradley worked extremely hard against a very strong side who were very physical and athletic.
A short time later the Heights ‘Star Man’ Kori Doherty reacted the quickest with a header in the box to give the Heights a well deserved 2-1 lead and they were looking set to take the three points.
But that was short-lived because on 78 mins Leandro Deigado struck a fantastic long range effort past Rodden and it looked like the game was heading for a stalemate draw.
A few minutes from time Callum Biggart latched onto a Mark Edgar cross and give the Heights the three points and their first league victory in intermediate football
