BARR DOUBLE KEEPS NEWINGTON IN THE MIX
Two Zach Barr goals early in the game ultimately guided Newington to victory over Institute at Inver Park.
The 28-year-old fired the Swans in front on 17 minutes, before doubling up just three minutes after that.
'Stute did reduce the deficit midway through the first half when Fra Rice turned the ball into his own net whilst defending a corner, but Newington held on to secure all three points to remain very much in the mix at the top of the table.
