The outgoing champions relied on an own goal -- although Daniel Kelly was claiming it - with nine minutes to go to tip the contest their way.

And John Martin then sealed the points at the death as Joey O'Brien's substitutions made the difference to see off stubborn opponents for the fourth time this year.
