Managerless Ards dumped holders Crusaders out of the Clearer Water Irish Cup on a day of high drama in domestic football’s most prestigious cup competition.
Reaction | Carrick progress to the quarter finals after penalty shoot-out victory over Bangor
Bangor almost caused an upset but ultimately fell to Carrick Rangers via a penalty shoot-out defeat at the Loughshore Hotel Arena.
Carrick are now set to play Larne tomorrow night in the quarter finals of the Irish Cup. Niall Currie will be demanding more from his players after having this to say about their first half display on Saturday. With the opportunity to get into a quarter final of an Irish Cup, you certainly need more than what we showed in the first half today. Thankfully, we started well in the second half.
