Daryl Fordyce scored the winning goal for Glentoran

The first opportunity fell to the visitors as Terry Fitzpatrick blazed over the bar from 10 yards out.

Michael Halliday had a goal disallowed and was twice denied by Stuart Addis, Colin Nixon headed over and David Scullion and Gary Hamilton went close.

Halliday headed wide but Daryl Fordyce slid home the winner under Addis after Gary Hamilton squared the ball to the attacking midfielder after 67 minutes.
