    FT: Glentoran 2-1 Crusaders

    That is all from us on a dramatic night in the BetMcLean Cup.

    Third tier sides Newry City and Moyola Park knocked out Premiership opposition in the form of Glenavon and Dungannon Swifts.

    Glentoran and Larne both prevailed in all-Premiership ties against Crusaders and Bangor.

    Coleraine thumped Armagh City while Ballymena United also had a routine win.

    We will be back tomorrow with two more ties as holders Cliftonville face Strabane Athletic and H&W Welders take on Linfield.

    See you then!
