The Burnie would be dealt a further blow before the break as Kyle McLung’s rash challenge resulted in Lyle Kellichan slotting home a penalty to double the Haws’ lead.
A bright end to the first half didn’t result in a Blackburn goal, though, with both James Mildren and Justin Watson going close.
The deficit would be reduced just nine minutes after the restart when Kris Goss saw his flick-on sliced wildly over his own keeper’s head from Russell Grierson for an own goal.
Both sides would go onto squander further chances with the away side throwing everything at it in the closing stages but unable to find an equaliser.
Stuart Hall brilliantly tipped over a David Howe piledriver to ensure the hosts kept all three points.
