Glentoran manager Warren Feeney congratulates goal scorer Charlie Lindsay
Warren Feeney’s Glentoran cruised into the Semi-Finals of the Clearer Water Irish Cup following this routine win over Ballyclare Comrades at the BetMcLean Oval.
Although Stephen Small’s Championship side left east Belfast with their pride intact, the home team really hadn’t to move out of second gear to establish the victory.
It was in-form striker David Fisher who broke the deadlock on 28 minutes as Seanan Clucas sent in a great cross from the right and the former Wimbledon man got up above everyone else to power home a header.
