Portadown is exceeding our expectations in the league this season as they’ve secured 4 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses from the 13 games they’ve played this season. Their most recent league game The Swifts ended in a 2-1 defeat and they’ll most likely be edging towards another defeat as they prepare to take on Larne on Saturday.

They are currently in 8th place in the league table with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses from the 9 games played. They still have three outstanding games to play in the league.
