LEAGUE leaders Annagh United edged a close contest with Strabane Athletic thanks to a second-half strike from Liam Burns.
Annagh were the visitors to The Showgrounds in Limavady on Friday night, with the 'home' side falling to an eighth defeat of the season.
The result means Tommy Canning's men remain second bottom on 11 points - two ahead of basement side Armagh City.
The sides were unable to find a breakthrough during an evenly contested first half, with the visitors eventually making the difference on 67 minutes.
Burns opened his Annagh account in clinical fashion, finding the net from 12 yards after a long throw from Taylor caused confusion in the Strabane penalty area, with the ball evading everyone before falling invitingly into his path.
Athletic are back in league action on Friday night when they travel to face Newry City at the Newry Showgrounds, followed by a 'home' fixture against Dundela on Friday, November 20.
