'Regret the primary emotion'
Bangor manager Lee Feeney said everyone in the Seasiders' dressing room had been left with the same feeling of a missed opportunity after they lost 2-0 to Dungannon Swifts in Saturday's Irish Cup Owens' first-half own goal and Dean Curry's headed goal 10 minutes from time condemned the Championship leaders to defeat against Rodney McAree's charges, who sit fourth in the Premiership table."The one word is regret. We felt going in at half-time that because of the conditions, we had the wind for us in the second half, and we felt we were going to do a bit better," Feeney told BBC Sport NI."Everyone in the changing room comes away with the same feeling of regret because we feel like we could have made something happen there."We should have done a wee bit better with qualities and deliveries and intelligence in the final third but if we had got a wee bit of luck and had got the second goal with a bit of time left they would have felt the pressure and their mentality would have changed and so would ours, for the better."It wasn't to be and they defended really, really well at times, so congratulations to them. We weren't consistent enough, we played in wee periods here and there."

Bangor players 'emptied the tank' in cup win
Bangor manager Lee Feeney praised his players for "emptying the tank" in their shock 3-1 Irish Cup quarter-final win over Glentoran at Clandeboye Park on Friday night. Ben Arthurs, Ben Cushnie and captain Lewis Harrison were on target as the Championship leaders established a 3-0 lead by the interval. Despite Charlie Lindsay's second-half consolation goal for the Glens, the north Down side went on to secure a memorable victory over their Premiership opponents. "I'm delighted for the players. They emptied the tank and that had to happen for us to win that game," said Feeney after the match. "Everyone on the pitch gave everything they had, you couldn't ask for much more. When you play those full-time teams, you have to be in and around the ball and not give them space. "That's why we tried to crowd the midfield and not sit off them and let them knock the ball about. It took hard work for that to happen." Feeney was preparing to give his half-time team talk to reflect a two-goal half-time advantage when his side added their third goal one minute before the interval. "We got a very important goal before half-time which changed things as we were thinking more defensively and instead of being on the front foot again, we said we'll try and hold onto our three-goal lead. "But they started to get the upper hand we felt we had to sit off a bit and there was nothing wrong with that. "It was a horrible goal to give away, but it says a lot for us that after a game like that we were disappointed to concede in the manner that we did." The Bangor boss said his side were deserved winners. "We were super and deserved it. Our aim was to come here and compete. "There were people here who have maybe never been here to watch the team before and were maybe thinking, 'I'll give this a go', and then going 'you know what I enjoyed that'." The Seasiders are eight points clear at the top of the Championship as they chase promotion to the top flight. "Winning the league is my priority. It will be a far bigger achievement than this," Feeney emphasised.
