Stewart recalls unforgettable Red Star encounter
Portadown's Stewart has opened up about his dream match against Red Star, calling it a night he'll never forget. The midfielder's reflections come as the club prepares for the new season after finishing 9th in the Premiership last year with 36 points from 33 games.
What made the match special?
Stewart described the atmosphere as electric, with Portadown fans creating an incredible noise. The match was part of a European campaign that saw Portadown push their limits against top-tier opposition. "It's the kind of night you dream of as a player," Stewart said.
Impact on Portadown's current season
After ending last season on a high with four consecutive wins, including a 4-2 victory over Bangor, Portadown will look to build on that momentum. The club scored 36 goals last season but conceded 57, leaving room for improvement at both ends of the pitch.
What's next for Stewart and Portadown?
With the new season approaching, Stewart hopes to bring the same intensity to domestic matches. Portadown finished 37 points behind leaders Larne last season, but Stewart believes the team can challenge for a higher position this time around.
