The wait for silverware at the BetMcLean Oval is finally over, after Glentoran defeated Larne 5-4 in a nail biting penalty-shootout after a 1-1 draw in tonight’s Co Antrim Shield Final at Seaview.
Christie Pattison was the hero as he scored the winning penalty, to give Declan Devine his first trophy as manager, and the club's first trophy in five years.
Charlie Lindsay opened the scoring in the second half with a thunderbolt from distance, before Andy Ryan equalised moments later for Larne, who were denied a fifth Shield win in a row.

The final provides the Glens with a chance to claim their first piece of silverware since their Irish Cup triumph in the 2019/20 season, while also ending a 14-year wait for County Antrim Shield success, last achieved with a 3-1 victory over Linfield in the 2010/11 campaign.
Goalkeeper Andrew Mills has signed a new 18-month contract with Glentoran Football Club.
The experienced English shot-stopper has committed his future to the BetMcLean Oval, with the deal keeping him at the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.
Andrew Mills joined the Glens in July 2024 following decade-long career in Swedish football, including spells at Arnäs IF, Friska Viljor, IFK Östersund and Östersund FK.

Glentoran missed out on the chance to go second in the Sports Direct Premiership after a floodlight failure at the BetMcLean Oval led to their game against Larne being abandoned 15 minutes into the second half.
With the game scoreless at the time, the Glens had the upper hand and would have fancied their chances of getting a winner, but it wasn’t to be, and sides will likely have to do it all again on another date.
It was a bright opening for the hosts, and they felt they should have had a penalty awarded with just nine minutes on the clock.
