Having fought back
from 1-0 in heir two previous games, Glentoran
failed to do so tonight at the cold Limavady
Showgrounds. The game saw very few chances for
the Glens but the closest coming from the head of
Michael Ward as the ball drifted just over the bar
from all of 4 yards.
Limavady took the
lead just after half time, on the 48th minute a
Trevor McLernon free kick met the head of Ryan
McIlmoyle who touched the ball past Elliot Morris.
Adding to the
disappointment, the Glens had young right-back Jamie
McGovern taken off with a calf injury and Kyle Neill
sent off after an unfortunate hand-ball.
This result rounded
off a bitterly disappointing week for the Glens
which saw Tim McCann forced to retire due to a knee
ligament injury.
Alan McDonald will
now be rallying the troops for the upcoming crucial Christmas
period which will see the Glens face all of the top
title contenders.
