Football: DISTILLERY ... 1 OMAGH ... 2

LOWLY Omagh Town provided the shock of the day when they beat the Whites at home for the first time in the league this season.

A left-foot curler from Ivan Sproule on 37 minutes and a close- range finish from Michael Ward after 56 minutes gave relegation- haunted Town the points.

Distillery grabbed a lifeline on 58 minutes, striker Peter Withnell heading home from 10 yards out, and Omagh full-back Marty Flanagan had to head clear off the line in injury time.

Omagh manager Johnny Speak said: "Full credit to my lads - we scored two great goals and then they dug in and gave me everything."
