Portadown 5-3 Glentoran
48 hours later than planned, Glentoran travelled to Shamrock Park and came out on the wrong end of a 5-3 scoreline. The game was, of course, postponed on Saturday due to a waterlogged pitch but the Shamrock Park surface had recovered well from the weekend’s deluge and whilst sticky & bumpy, remained playable throughout. Glentoran came into the game on a high having seen off Ballinamallard and Glenavon in their last two games whilst the Ports have also shown signs of resurgence recently and were fresh from a 16 day layoff since beating Linfield 2-0.
