This was very much the proverbial “game of two halves” with the wee Glens ultimately coming to grips with a spirited, hard working Carrick team. 

The first half started well and the Glens soon were in front with Colin Smith scoring an excellent free kick. The lead was not; however, to last for long as a mix up in defence gifted Carrick an equaliser. 

The Glens continued to press forward but a number of chances were missed and the score at half time was 1-1. 

A very different Glentoran started the second half and they were soon in front again when Gareth McGrattan scored to make it 2-1. 

This goal settled the Glens down and they started to play much better football and they were soon 3 up with Lewis Adair finishing of an excellent passing move.  Further goals followed from Colin Smith and Scott Kane and the victory was completed by Paddy Davidson scoring his first for the club with an excellent finish from the edge of the box.
