Glens 'found a way to win' against Ports
Glentoran boss Declan Devine said his players "gave absolutely everything" in their opening day 1-0 win against Portadown at Shamrock Danny Amos volleyed home from a superb Jordan Jenkins cross to score what proved to be the winner before Devine was delighted that his side were able to grind out a win in the absence of a number of first team regulars."Winning is absolutely the main thing. We had a lot of setbacks coming into the game," he told BBC Sport NI."Cammy Palmer's suspension from the play-off, injuries to Joe Thompson and Markus Kane Dylan (Connolly), and Christy Patterson being suspended, and yesterday we lost Pat Hoban.""We lost David Fisher after a few minutes, which meant we had to change our shape. It's full testimony to the group because I don't think we played great by any stretch. "There weren't any free-flowing combinations or attacking moves, but we found a way to win and dug in against a really good Portadown side."

"Carrick are an incredible club, full of fantastic people so it was an easy answer. I'm excited about what the future holds for the club and if they feel I am able to help next season then of course I will happily offer all I have to offer."Elsewhere in the top flight, forward Jordan Jenkins and midfielder Charlie Lindsay have agreed new two-year deals with leaving Carrick at the end of the season, goalkeeper Ross Glendinning has signed for Loughgall as the Villagers look to secure an immediate return to the top flight.
