Glenavon .... (1)2 ..... Glentoran .... (1)4
With Linfield’s game postponed on Friday evening, Glentoran took full advantage - eventually - to reclaim top spot.
It wasn’t vintage from the Belfast Glens, in fact for long enough they weren’t the better side, but the character which has seen them lose only twice in their last 21 league outings (each time to Larne), proved decisive in the end.
It was Conor McMenamin who coined the phrase, ‘Big games, big names’ before the recent Big Two victory before going on to score the winner, and he might well have uttered the same pre-match phrase this afternoon.
