Super Ports make point in their big bid for survival
Another impressive result as Niall Currie's men draw with Crues
Last updated 27th Feb 2017
Portadown picked up another massive point in their Mission Impossible season.
Niall Currie’s battlers drew 1-1 with runaway Irish League leaders Crusaders – and they could have ended with all three points.
This was the second week running where the Ports can consider themselves unlucky to have secured just a point.
Two weeks ago they recorded a similar score-line against Linfield.
On Saturday at Shamrock Park they fell behind to a Jordan Owens strike but just before the interval, Marcio Soares grabbed the equaliser – his first goal since rejoining the Ports from Crusaders.
Elsewhere, there was dearth of goals with Cliftonville against Coleraine and Carrick v Glenavon both ending in scoreless draws.
But at Stangmore Park there was a six-goal thriller with three goals apiece between Dungannon Swfits and Ards.
Finally, Ballymena United continued their superb form with a 2-1 win at Ballinamallard.
