The hosts turned the game on its head midway through the first half, responding with three goals in eight minutes.
In the 26th minute, Rory Donnelly found the back of the net from an acute angle after being played in by Chris Curran.

The comeback was complete four minutes later when Joe Gormley slotted home the rebound after Donnelly's initial effort was saved by Andrew Coleman.
And they extended their advantage in the 33rd minute when Levi Ives' corner dropped to Ryan Curran in the box and he converted for his side's third of the night.
In the end it proved to be enough for Cliftonville to secure all three points as Newry City stayed rooted to the bottom of the table.
