TWO GOALS AND TWO RED CARDS BUT EAGLES END ON TOP
Armagh City defeated Dollingstown by two second half goals following a lively encounter at Planters Park.
Scoreless at the break, the Eagles perhaps came closest through Scott McCann who saw an effort brilliantly tipped away by home keeper Glenn Buchanan.
The deadlock was broken on 57 minutes when Ross Lavery latched onto a long ball forward to slot past Buchanan but City's joy was short lived when, four minutes later, they were reduced to ten men when Ruairi Duffy collected his second caution of the game.
Despite being a man down Shea Campbell's side did well to restrict the home side, although their task became even more difficult with seven minutes remaining when McCann became their second player to receive his marching orders, again for a second booking.
Remarkably, however, Conor Mullen struck with a minute remaining to extend City's lead and ensure the three points left with the visitors.
