Institute 2

Warrenpoint 0

Warrenpoint were reduced to ten men just before the half hour when Daniel Wallace went in high on Jamie McIntyre, and although he got the ball, the challenge was deemed reckless and he was dismissed from the game.

Within minutes, 'Stute had the lead and it was another decision which went against Warrenpoint, as Eamon Scannell was adjudged to have fouled Michael McCrudden in the area and the home side were awarded a penalty. McCrudden stepped up and fired the ball into the net for his second goal of the season.

The points were safe midway through the second half when McCruden doubled his tally with a sensational half volley which flew into the net to make it six points from a possible nine for Paddy McLaughlin's side on their return to the Premier League.
