Portadown are back on their travels tomorrow (Sat 2 Oct) as we make the trip to Milltown to take on Warrenpoint Town in the Danske Bank Premiership, kick off 3pm.

Warrenpoint Town come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Cliftonville last Saturday at Solitude, their fifth straight defeat in the Premiership, while Portadown were defeated 4-1 by Dungannon Swifts at Shamrock Park last time out and like Warrenpoint Town have lost their last five Premiership fixtures.

The last time the two clubs met was back in May with Warrenpoint Town sealing all 3 points at Shamrock Park thanks to a 2-1 victory with goals from Fra McCaffrey & Alan O’Sullivan, Portadown had taken the lead through a Adam Salley penalty. The last time the clubs met at Milltown was in April with Matthew Tipton’s men coming away with all three points thanks to a 3-1 win courtesy of goals from Ben Tilney and a brace from Adam Salley, this was Portadown’s first ever competitive victory at Warrenpoint.

Warrenpoint Town have an impressive record over Portadown with seven wins in their last nine games with Ports manager Matthew Tipton hoping to buck the trend tomorrow.

Portadown manager Matthew Tipton and his assistant David Miskelly are of course no strangers to Warrenpoint Town after guiding them to Championship success and promotion in 2017 during a 15 month spell in charge before departing for Shamrock Park in February 2018.
