PORTS SWEEP PAST COAGH
Portadown swept past Premier Intermediate League opponents Coagh United at Shamrock Park to secure a berth in the next round of the BetMcLean Cup.
Dale Montgomery opened the scoring on 38 minutes when he rose highest on the edge of the six yard box to nod home a corner from the right.
The Ports doubled their lead just five minutes after that when Mark Russell's cross from the left was chested down by Eoin Bradley for Eamon Fyfe to blast home from just outside the area.
Number three arrived nine minutes after the interval when Bradley once again turned provider to tee Ryan Mayse to fire across the goal from the far post.
Fyfe then doubled his tally from the spot on 71 minutes to put the game beyond any doubt, although Aaron Campbell did bag a late consolation for the visitors.
