BRADLEY BAGS WINNER FOR PORTS
Portadown narrowly defeated Institute at Shamrock Park to make it two wins from two at the start of the new campaign.
'Stute had the ball in the net as early as the third minute but Marm MBuli's effort was ruled out offside.
And the visitors came close to breaking the deadlock again early in the second half but Jamie McCormick was unlucky to send the ball against an upright.
The only goal of the game came around the hour mark when recent signing Eoin Bradley connected with an Eamon Fyfe pass to fire beyond keeper Dylan Doherty.
Institute were denied once again late in the game after Kirk McLaughlin found space only to be unlucky to strike the crossbar with a lofted ball over Aaron Hogg.
