Institute secured third place ahead of the Championship split with a hard-fought win over Knockbreda at the Riverside Stadium.

Michael McCrudden gave 'Stute an early lead from the penalty spot but the hosts struggled to add to that and Robert Burns headed in a deserved equaliser midway through the second half.

A wonder goal from substitute Ale Pomeroy put 'Stute back in front with just five minutes remaining before the win was sealed on 89 minutes with a penalty from Sammy Morrow, who scored his first goal for the club.
