Cup Final Countdown- Halliday's Heroics
The final installment in our Cup Final Countdown before the big day tomorrow comes from our last two Irish Cup successes in 2001 and 2004 where Michael Halliday grabbed both winners.
Armagh City were our first opponents in the 2001 Irish Cup. Two goals from Justin McBride, one from the penalty spot, and another from Gary Smyth saw us safely over the first hurdle. Former Glentoran player, Alfie Stewart brought his Moyola Park team to the Oval in the next round but the Glens proved too good for the junior side; Rainey, McCann, Smyth and Nixon all on target in a 4-nil win.
