  2. 'Hard to be critical'published at 21:57 BST

    FT: Ballymena United 0-2 Glentoran

    Ballymena United manager Oran Kearney: "The outcome is disappointing but it's hard to be critical of our boys. We were well in the game for the majority of it. We have had a couple of decent chances in the first half. On a night like this, particularly in the last 10 minutes, the first goal is going to be crucial.

    "The hardest part of the game is putting the balling the net. We have players there who can do it and I've no doubt it will happen. It's not all about results, I've no doubt we're going in the right direction"

    Glentoran captain Marcus Kane: "Ballymena came out in the first half and they were tought to break down. We had a few choice words in at half time. Once we scored one we looked like we would score more.

    On scoring on his 500th Irish League appearance: "It's my 500th apperance and a goal to celebrate in front of my friends and my wife and son. I'm getting on a bit older now so you enjoy those moments. I'm enjoying it as much as I can."

    FT: Ballymena United 0-2 Glentoran

    Glentoran manager Declan Devine on BBC Sport NI: "It was a sluggish first half from us. We were nervous and careless with the ball. We needed a response today, the players deserve huge credit for the second half. I'm delighted for them and it's been a sore week for us.

    "We thoroughly deserved it in the second half. We were on the front foot and that was the pleasing aspect. It's a massive result for us.

    On Marcus Kane on his 500th Irish League appearance: "Marcus has been an inspiration for us. He was very aggressive and if you want someone to put the icing on the cake, then I'm delighted it was him."
