Against Portadown the game commenced with both sides trying to get the ball down and play good football. Portadown twice made Toby Jones pull off two fantastic saves while at the other end Taylor Hill and Joshua Noble made the Portadown `keeper work.

Alex Innocenzi and Bobby Jones were superb in defence but the deadlock was broken on the 15 minute mark when Portadown broke away to score with a low shot. Tom King. Josh Kerr, Innocenzi and Harry Annett all brought saves from the Portadown goalkeeper but in the closing stages Portadown scored a second to make the scoreline 2 - 0.
