Portstewart will look to build on their win over Newry City when they entertain Lisburn Distillery this weekend.

Dean Brown opened the scoring for the home side after just seven minutes at the R Kings Competition Stadium last Saturday.

Newry levelled just after the half-hour mark to keep things all square going into the second half.

On the hour, Portstewart were awarded a penalty which was taken and successfully converted by Tiarnan McKinney, whose effort pushed Portstewart ahead.

The Seahawks held on to their advantage to record a fourth win of the campaign.

Lisburn Distillery come to the north coast in poor form, sitting one place off the foot of the table.

PORTSTEWART: Holland, McAleer, King, McDermott, McLaughlin, (Brown 7’), McAleese, (McKinney 61’(pen), Modir, Whiteside, Charnley

NEWRY: Craughwell, Rendina, Rea, Chambers, (Newell 34’), Kavanagh, Dalton, McCullough, O'Flaherty, Poynton, Watson

Referee: Tom Symington
