Glentoran 2 - 1 ColeraineFriday 7th March

Tonight's rescheduled Carnegie Premier League game finished with a well earned 2-1 victory to the Glens. It was a hard fought game that saw the Glens take the lead through David Scullion on 56 minutes although having the better of the chances throughout the first half. It seemed as though the game would play out from here with a second goal on the cards, however Coleraine struck back from the penalty spot after Jamie McGovern was penalised for holding John Watt in the area. The equaliser put more spice into the game forcing both teams to go for the win, but the difference once again was Gary Hamilton. The top scorer Hamilton found himself on the end of a Jamie McGovern cross to head home for the Glen and sealing the victory and another vital 3 points. Tonight's result puts Glentoran just 2 points behind league leaders Linfield and one behind Cliftonville, however both teams have a game in hand.
