It's still all to play for in the Setanta Sports Cup for Glentoran and St Pats as the sides fought out a 0-0 draw in Dublin in the first leg of the tie. Chances were few and far between for both sides. Killian Brennan went close for the home side in the first half but the Glens almost grabbed the lead just before the break when John McGuigan broke clear and set up Richard Gibson. St Pats' keeper, Brendan Clarke was quickly out to deny the Glens striker.
Glentoran fans will be looking forward to a trip to Dublin tomorrow evening to play one of the best footballing sides on the island in St Pat's Athletic. St Pat's are currently in pre-season before they kick off their league campaign in March. The two fixtures against Glentoran will be Pat's first two competitive fixtures of the new season as they look to put their new squad into practice. St Pat's finished in 3rd position in the League of Ireland last season, some distance off the winners Sligo Rovers.

Two goals down inside 10 minutes wasn't exactly what the Glentoran team, management or supporters had expected at Clandeboye Park this afternoon however the players turned it around and hit five goals of their own to book their place in the quarter-final on the 2013 Irish Cup.
With two central defenders ruled out of today’s game, Jay Magee suspended and Calum Birney through injury, skipper Colin Nixon was back in the starting XI as the Glens travelled to Clandeboye Park to face Bangor in the 2013 Irish Cup.
Tomorrow sees Glentoran travel the short distance to Bangor for the Irish Cup 6th round tie. Following another postponed game on Tuesday night, the Glentoran squad should be fresh for another important fixture for the club. With it being 8 years since Glentoran were in an Irish Cup Final, Eddie Patterson's side will no doubt be aiming for that as the principle target for the remainder of the season alongside finishing as high up the league table.
