Cliftonville 3 - 0 Institute
Liam Boyce, Chris Scannell and Kieran O'Connor got the goals which ensured an eighth successive win in the League and maintained the Reds' record of having not conceded in 2010.
Boyce struck after just 19 minutes after good work from O'Connor and Ciaran Caldwell, while Scannell made it 2-0 four minutes later when he stretched to reach a left-wing cross from his brother Ronan.
The second period provided little by way of entertainment but, after Chris Scannell had brought a top drawer save out of Institute goalkeeper Gavin Cullen, the hosts put the seal on things when O'Connor smashed a superb volley into the top corner following Scannell's cross.
The sides meet again at Solitude in a rearranged Premiership tie on Tuesday night.
