Knockbreda held onto their Championship status following a two-goal defeat of Bangor at Breda Park.

The East Belfast side were tied 2-2 with the Seasiders following Tuesday's first leg at Clandeboye Park, surrendering their lead after conceding two stoppage goals.

But that didn't happen on this occasion. Scoreless at the break, 'Breda edged into the lead a few minutes after the break when Karl Hamill turned the ball home with a close range finish from a corner.

Then, just a couple of minutes after that, Max Greer blasted a second past Matthew Anderson to make sure for Colin McIlwrath's side.
