Before that, a fine away victory at Ballinamallard United. A Irish Cup game.

Linfield aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 180 league minutes without a goal. Vertainen was the last player to find the net.
Linfield play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Cliftonville (placed 1st). That loss stopped this club's string of league matches in a row without losing; eleven games in total!
A home victory as expected against Warrenpoint Town before that, in the Irish Cup.
