Glenavon battle past Newington in Irish Cup

Glenavon needed extra time to battle past Championship side Newington 4-2 in the rescheduled Irish Cup fifth-round tie.

Peter Campbell netted in injury-time to rescue the Irish Premiership side after Rory Donnelly's free-kick put Newington 2-1 up late on.

But Nathaniel Ferris and Gavin Gilmore scored in extra-time to set up a tie with Cliftonville.

In another of Tuesday's four ties, which had been rearranged after wintery conditions on Saturday, Portadown fought off neighbours Annagh United to prevail 4-2 at Shamrock Park.

Jack Scott and Divin Isamala put the Ports two goals up, but Kris Calvert and Lee Upton brought the Championship side level.

Niall Currie's side hit back through an Upton own goal and Rhys Annett, and will now face holders Dungannon Swifts in the next round.

At Ferney Park, Padraig Lynch scored a second-half hat-trick as Institute ran out 3-0 winners at Ballinamallard United.

Warrenpoint Town beat Lisburn Distillery 4-3 after extra time in a thrilling tie at Milltown.

At Mourneview Park, Newington took the lead against the run of play on 22 minutes when Nathan Watters made headway down the right and his low cross was dummied by Jay Donnelly and side-footed home by Darren Stuart.

The home fans were growing frustrated as their side tried to get back into the game, with chances for Paul McGovern and Barney McKeown the closest they came as they went in behind at the break.

Glenavon came out of the traps the quicker in the second half and drew level seven minutes in thanks to a lovely curling effort from the edge of the box by McGovern.

Much of the pressure was towards Rian Brown's goal but the Crusaders loanee made some good saves to keep the game level. Those saves looked even better when Rory Donnelly smashed home a stunning free-kick off the inside of the post to give the Championship side the lead with just over 10 minutes left.

However, just as it looked like we would have an upset, Campbell slammed home a first-time effort at the back post having been set up by a rather fortuitous bounce off debutant Ferris.

Chances were at a premium in extra time but Glentoran loanee Ferris met a corner with a front-post header for a debut goal to give his new side the lead.

Victory was sealed five minutes after half-time when another loan debutant Mikey Harkin played Gilmore in behind the tiring defence and he slotted past Brown to seal the victory and avoid an upset.

There was still time for Harkin to be shown a red card for a high boot but it wouldn't impact the result and Glenavon will go to Solitude for an all-Premiership encounter with Cliftonville in the next round.

At Shamrock Park, the hosts edged themselves in front in the 14th minute when Steven McCullough delivered a pinpoint cross to the back post and substitute Scott headed home just nine minutes into his Portadown debut.

Just before the half-hour mark, the visitors carved out their best chance of the opening 45 minutes as James Convie picked up possession wide in the penalty area following a neat move, but his effort came back off the crossbar.

Five minutes later, Isamala doubled the advantage when he applied the final touch from close range after Baris Altintop had headed McCullough's corner back across goal.

After the restart, the Championship side pulled a goal back when Convie's shot was saved by Aaron McCarey, and Calvert reacted first to slot home through a crowded penalty area.

Midway through the second half, the comeback was complete as Upton rose highest to head home Conall Young's free-kick against his former club.

That momentum proved short-lived, however, when substitute Gideon Tetteh crossed low from the left, and Upton diverted the ball into his own net past a helpless Little.

Deep into injury time, Annett made sure of the win as a Portadown counter ended with the forward seeing his initial effort come back off Upton before the Linfield loanee expertly curled the rebound into the top corner.

Institute set up a sixth-round tie with either Loughgall or Knockbreda with a 2-0 win at Ballinamallard United.

Lynch was the hat-trick hero at Ferney Park as his second-half treble fired them past their Championship rivals.

There was a thriller at Milltown between Warrenpoint Town and Lisburn Distillery as the hosts prevailed 4-3 after extra-time.

Leon Lavery gave Distillery an early lead but Warrenpoint his back through goals from Adam Carroll, Decky Loye and Conall Murray.

However, Guillaume Keke pulled one back and Jamie McDonagh's goal sent the game to extra time.

But Warrenpoint would have the final say when Eoghan Byrne converted a rebound to set up a tie at home to Ballymena United or Larne.

The remaining fifth round ties, including Ballymena United v Larne, Glentoran v Strabane Athletic and Loughgall v Knockbreda, will be played on Tuesday 20 January.
