Annagh United carry a five-match unbeaten streak into their Championship trip to Newry City AFC on Friday evening. The side has won four and drawn one of those games, a run that has lifted them to third place in the table with 16 points from seven outings.
Their last outing was a 3-1 home victory over H&W Welders on September 12, which followed wins against Ards, Ballinamallard United and Moyola Park. The sequence began with a 2-2 draw away to Dundela in mid-August. That consistent form has left them just one point behind the league leaders, Newington Youth, with a positive goal difference of six from 17 scored and 11 conceded.
Friday's hosts, Newry City AFC, sit sixth and have had mixed results. They were beaten 4-1 at home by Glenavon FC in their last competitive fixture on August 11, but had secured a 1-0 win over Bangor two weeks prior. The match at The Showgrounds kicks off at 18:45 UTC.
After this fixture, Annagh United will host Institute at the BMG Arena on Friday, September 27. With momentum on their side, Annagh United will look to their squad to maintain the pressure at the top of the standings. Their next assignment after this trip is detailed on the club's fixtures page.
