Coleraine's woes continue against Ports

Spare a thought for Coleraine. Still without a point - or a goal - after six matches in the Carling Premier League, and they struck the post twice in the dying minutes.

Portadown 2 - 0 Coleraine

Stephen Lowry and Paul Brown were two who missed narrowly, and manager David Platt commented wearily: "When your luck's down it all goes against you - but we'll turn the corner."

Coleraine showed plenty of honest endeavour as they strained for their first points, but Portadown showed most of the guile, with two second-half goals from narrow angles.

First, new signing Neil McCafferty whipped home a free-kick from 20 yards through a clutch of players, and then Kevin Braniff beat keeper Davy O'Hare to the ball to squeeze home the second.

It was a victory the Ports deserved.
