ON Saturday Rathfriland Swifts travelled to Ballyoran in the Foster Cup and after holding a 1-1 scoreline at the interval the home side took advantage of Rathfriland’s second half mistakes to go on and win 5-1.

Rathfriland combated well with the strong Portadown side in the first half and despite going a goal down responded brilliantly after Jackie Lynch headed back for Paul Campbell to stab home from eight yards out.

Rathfriland conceded straight from kick off in the 46th minute and then missed a great chance to go 2-2 when Micky Morgan struck just over the crossbar.

The home side then went straight up the other end and scored to make it 3–1.

Further mistakes allowed Ballyoran to score two more in quick succession to make the final score 5-1.
