Reds manager Paul Hart had this to say after the defeat which leaves us in Division Two next season.
"I'm very disappointed. I felt we were poor. The players tried their best but there was a lot missing.
"We had to change the team around positionally, and put square pegs in round holes.
"The early goal put us on the back foot. It was a poor performance but I wouldn't criticise people for lack of effort.
"It was a major blow to be without David Murphy and Jacob Burns, who has been doing tremendously well."
