The pair both made it to the 2009/10 Irish Cup final at Windsor Park with the Blues running out 2-1 victors thanks to goals from Peter Thompson and Philip Lowry while Kevin Braniff pulled one back for Portadown.
All three came within 13 minutes at the start of the first-half, but David Jeffrey’s Linfield held on to secure a 40th competition success, adding to another Irish League crown.
Here are some of the best photos from that May afternoon in 2010.
