Elsewhere, Glentoran eased to a 8-1 victory over Portadown while Belvedere beat Dungannon United Youth 7-1.
Linfield also got their Minor campaign off to a battling 3-1 win over Larne in Kells, with all three of their goals coming from direct free-kicks.
Blues legend Glenn Ferguson - Linfield's head of academy - said: "It is good for the lads. First match and a win under our belts.
"It was a physical encounter which you don't usually expect from Larne. But they came out with a game plan and stuck to it.
"There were some feisty challenges but the lads stood up to the test. We got the three goals in the first half and got the win.
"They had to show some character today. Inside the first 10 minutes one of our lads was pushed into the side fence and ended up with a gash on his head.
"That wasn't a good start to the game. But we soon realised we were in for a physical battle and they had to prove they can handle themselves.
"The main thing in the first game is getting the win and we did that. We will head back to Greenmount now and see how the lads are and who we have for tomorrow."
