Linfield 1-1 Glentoran
Glentoran strengthened their grip on 6th place with a battling 1-1 draw in today's 'Big Two' Danske Bank Premiership clash.
The Glens carried on where they left off last Tuesday night - in attack mode. In the opening minute a poor clearance by Jimmy Callacher fell to Steven Gordon and he tested Moore in the Linfield goal with a 25 yard drive. Moments later and the East Belfast side went in front.

Coleraine 1-0 Glentoran
Glentoran bowed out of the Tennant’s Irish cup after a battling but ultimately wasteful performance at the Coleraine Showgrounds on Tuesday night. Darren McAuley’s early goal was enough to see Coleraine through to the last four. Glentoran made one change from Saturday’s draw at Glenavon with Saturday goalscorer John McGuigan coming into the side in place of Peter McMahon. With a big crowd on hand and a large Glentoran contingent and there was a definite sense of importance in the air and with it a tentative big game feel.
