Limavady United secured promotion to the Irish Premiership and the Championship title after overcoming Annagh United 2-0 in Saturday's top-two tussle at the BMG Arena.

United needed to avoid defeat to finish as champions and with it promotion to the Premiership.

John Butcher was Limavady's hero with the striker bagging a double.

Butcher slotted home the opener on 14 minutes from a penalty after Annagh's Ross Redman was sent off for handball.

After seeing an effort go over the bar Butcher sealed the win late in the game, finishing after being set-up by Alfie Gaston.

The Roesiders will have top-flight football to look forward next season while Annagh will be hoping to achieve the same when they come up against Crusaders in the promotion/relegation play-off.
