After a goalless first half, the 34-year-old striker put the Seagulls ahead after 49 minutes when he took advantage of a mistake by Iarfhliath Davoren to open the scoring.
The goal came against the run of play and Alan Keane equalised just after the hour mark, thanks to some great work from substitute Mark Quigley.
