Dungannon Swifts 2-8 Portadown

Richard Lecky scored four goals in Portadown's remarkable win.

Lecky nipped in ahead of keeper Alvin Rouse for a 38th-minute opener and turned away from marker Adam McMinn to score again just before half-time.

The tall striker got two more after the break with Gary McCutcheon also striking twice to make it 6-0.

A terrific strike by Kevin Braniff and a shot in off the posy by Wesley Boyle made it eight before Ryan McIlmoyle and Andy Hamilton got late Swifts goals.

It was a sensational win for Portadown, against a Dungannon team which had boasted the best defence record in the Premiership.

And it was a personal triumph for Lecky who was making his first start of the campaign.

Having scored in his last two games as a substitute, Lecky made it three goals in three when he netted the opener form McCutcheon's cross.

He made it two in the 44th minute and then completed his hat-trick five minutes into the second half.

Lecky then scored with a first-time half-volley which went in off the underside of Alvin Rouse's crossbar.

McCutcheon then went through to clip the ball over Rouse and the Scotsman quickly added another.

Braniff then scored with a superb strike from distance before Boyle turned on the edge of the box and, although he did not make full contact with the ball, his shot went in off a post.

McIlmoyle netted from Shane Coney's cross for Dungannon in the 83rd minute and sub Hamilton shot in from 20 yards for the home side.
