STORY OF THE MATCH: Portadown 3 Loughgall 1 - Derby goals, sub's red card and relegation
Loughgall’s relegation after two seasons of top-flight football was confirmed with a Premiership derby defeat at Shamrock Park by Portadown.
Ben Wylie came off the bench and scored the final goal but suffered an added-time red card off two bookable offences.
James Teelan broke the deadlock for the Ports and Josh Ukek doubled the tally before Ryan Waide cut the deficit with a rapid response.
