Currie watched from the stands last night (Friday) as Ards and Ballinamallard United produced a thrilling six-goal thriller in the Danske Bank Premiership.

Portadown will now attempt to take advantage of that 3-3 draw by picking up a reward today (Saturday) at Ballymena United.

Club coach Trevor Williamson will remain in charge of team selection for the Ballymena game alongside club captain Keith O’Hara and senior player David Miskelly.
