Goals from Curtis Allen and Darren Murray gave Glentoran a valuable 3 points today at Stangmore Park.
With Gavin Peers serving a one match suspension and Robbie McDaid aggravating an injury in the pre-match warm up, Mick McDermott was forced to make several changes to the starting line up for this crucial game against Dungannon Swifts.
Consistent hard work and two excellent opening goals have earned Paul O'Neill a clear win in the Supporters Glentoran Player of the Month vote for March.
With Darren Murray initially suspended, Paul came into the starting line up at Ballymena between Curtis Allen and Robbie McDaid and opened the scoring with a great finish and followed up last week with a very different opener, a very convincing header that gave the Cliftonville keeper no chance.

History repeats itself far too often for this Glentoran team. In this case we conceded the third consecutive 90th minute winner to Cliftonville this season, having yet again failed to hold out for a deserved point We dominated the first half to have a deserved half time lead and rode out substantial Reds pressure for well over an hour but yet again indecision at the back allowed our opponents to steal a late winner and yet again send us home empty handed.
