Institute climbed back up to third in the NIFL Championship with a strong win at Knockbreda.
Having performed so well against Linfield in last week's Irish Cup Quarterfinal at the Brandywell, it was back to the bread and butter of the league for Kevin Deery and his players, who were favourites to get the points against an opponent struggling at the foot of the table.
Ever-present defender Shaun Leppard was the difference between the teams at half time, his goal after 25 minutes sending 'Stute on their way.
The lead was doubled early in the second half when Shane McGinty scored his second goal in two games when he headed in from close range.
The points were sealed in the very last minute of the game when Mikhail Kennedy added yet another goal to seal a cpmfortable away victory.
The win is a huge boost for 'Stute ahead of a massive game against fellow promotion hopefuls Portadown at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium next Saturday.
