Jordan Jenkins was the hero as Glentoran saw off Portadown 2-0 in an impressive showing at Shamrock Park in the Sports Direct Premiership.
Immediately prior to kick off both teams and both sets of supporters impeccably observed a minute's silence for Cliftonville player Michael Newberry, who sadly passed away this morning on his 27th birthday.
Jenkins scored in either half for Declan Devine’s team, who now look like a match for anyone. The win lifts the Glens to second in the table with the Ports remaining in fourth.

Glentoran played out a Boxing Day stalemate in today’s Big-Two battle with Linfield at the BetMcLean Oval.
The Glens enjoyed the majority of possession and territory against their arch-rivals but could not find a winner as both sides finished the game with only 10 men on the field of play after two red cards.
The draw keeps Declan Devine’s men third in the Sports Direct Premiership table, just a point behind Dungannon Swifts in second.
A Christmas cracker of a front cover by graphic artist Beth Stafford for the Boxing Day edition of the Glentoran Gazette; one of her best…..actually. Inside Declan Devine, who sees the game as the biggest in Ireland and who is celebrating a new contract at the Oval, reveals he has made everyone in his squad aware of the importance of the fixture to everyone in the Glentoran family. Declan also hails the togetherness of his squad which has been evident in recent games. Staying with the game in question Henry Muldrew tells readers it is no good winning battles without winning the war.
Glentoran goalkeeper Dániel Gyollai is determined to build on the team’s impressive form and deliver for the fans as the Glens prepare for the sold-out Boxing Day ‘Big Two’ derby against Linfield at the BetMcLean Oval.
This festive fixture is the highlight of the Sports Direct Premiership calendar, and the Glens approach it buoyed by a decisive 2-1 comeback victory over Cliftonville last weekend - a match where Gyollai stole the headlines with his first-ever professional goal.
