The Opposition
Glentoran come into Wednesday’s final having picked up their first league win of the season, thumping Dungannon Swifts 5-1 at the Oval. Their road to the final includes second round a win on penalties against Ards and a narrow 1-0 victory against Cliftonville in the Semi-Final.
The Inver Reds
Larne go into their first senior final since 2005 on a blistering run of form, defeating Coleraine at the weekend to make it three wins on the bounce, a result that saw them leapfrog Linfield into 1st position in the league standings at this early stage of the campaign. Tiernan Lynch’s men have made this year’s final with wins against Ballyclare Comrades, Crusaders and Linfield, scoring ten goals and conceding just one in the process.
