The Glentoran Under 15s produced their best performance of the season to date to beat a previously unbeaten Barn United by 3 goals to 2 in a very competitive game.

The “Wee Glens” attacked from the start and soon had their rewards when Darrian Shaw was once again in the right place at the right time to score. Not satisfied with this the Glens continued to press forward and a second goal from Lewis Adair soon followed.  Other chances were created but a series of outstanding saves by the Barn United keeper kept the score at 2 - 0.

At this stage the Glens appeared to relax and in no time at all Barn had scored twice to leave the score 2-2 at half time.

 As the second half started the “Wee Glens” again raised their game and following some tenacious play by Gareth McGrattan, he produced a finish to match to give the Glens the lead.

Towards the end Barn pushed forward in search of an equaliser but the Glens defence, well marshalled by Colin Smith and Scott Kane, held strong to see the team safely home.  

This was an excellent all round performance by the team and similar performances will be required in the weeks to come.
