Coming on four minutes into the second half for Mark Holland, the 21-year-old needed just nine minutes to make his mark when he fired home the loose ball after a Liam Boyce header had been pushed out by 'keeper Gavin Cullen.

'Stute had led from the 24th minute after Austin Friel got on the end of a James Quigley ball to deliver a strong shot into the bottom left corner of John Connolly's goal.

Indeed, they might have been further ahead by that stage had a second minute Mark Scoltock header not been cleared off the line by Reds defender Ryan Catney.

After Dunlop's second half equaliser it was the visitors who looked the more likely to push on and claim the three points with Francis Murphy testing Cullen twice in as many minutes while, towards the end, he was released by George McMullan but failed to find the target with only the 'keeper to beat.
