Lisburn Distillery v Glentoran - Preview

 

AFTER two false starts for Glentoran the domestic season finally kicked off at The Oval with Alan McDonald side beating Newington YC in the first round of the Co Antrim Shield.
An opening day hat-trick from Gary Hamilton, together with strikes from Michael Halliday, Darren Boyce and a Daryl Fordyce penalty was enough to secure a safe passage through to the quarter finals of the Shield, despite a late consolation goal for the visitors.

Hamilton’s suspension was cleared by the IFA following last Saturday’s washout against Glenavon.

Meanwhile Whites’ assistant manager Ronnie Cromie – in charge as Paul Kirk awaits the start of his four match ban - says his players can’t wait to get into action.

“We will get started sometime so we will! The players are bursting to get started.

“We have been training for two and half months and only played two (competitive) games but we are looking forward to getting started.  

“It’s frustrating more than anything else - we are training three nights a week for a Saturday and then Saturday comes along and you can’t get out.”
