Portadown eyeing late push for seventh in final five
- Published
Portadown's post-split fixtures: Glenavon (A), Saturday, 4 April, Carrick Rangers (H), Tuesday, 7 April, Crusaders (A), Saturday, 11 April, Ballymena United (A), Saturday, 18 April, Bangor (A), Saturday, 25 April
Like Ballymena United, Portadown face an uphill task to pip Carrick Rangers to seventh place and the European play-off spot in the split, but that must be their aim.
Niall Currie's side are not helped by the fact that all but one of their post-split games will be played away from home, starting with a tasty Mid-Ulster derby against Glenavon.
They are seven behind Carrick, who they host in their only home game and will need to win that one and hope the Gers slip up climb further up the table.
