Darren Armour celebrated his recent return to the first team with a hat-trick as the Whites moved up the table into second place. Armour scored against Glenavon in the CIS Cup and was back on the score-sheet after seven minutes following a strong run to the bye-line by Andrew Waterworth.Waterworth thumped the ball across goal and Armour knocked it in from close range. Phil Matthews looked in more confident form and in the 16th minute he dived full-length to keep out Nathan McConnell's shot.Glenavon still kept the pressure on and within seconds Matthews was across goal to keep out a header from Connor Walsh. On 20 minutes Armour curled the ball across the goalmouth and Waterworth, somehow, put it over the top from no more than two yards out.Four minutes later Gareth McKeown sent a long pass down the middle, the Glenavon defence played him on and he fired low into the corner. Four minutes later Francis Murphy came down the left, his cross drifted to Andrew Dickson at the back post but Paul Rice saved his shot.Armour then headed over before Gerard McMahon did likewise for the visitors two minutes before the break. Matthews was back into action on 54 minutes, diving to his right to keep out Paul McKnight's 20 yarder.Waterworth fired over and Conor Hagan shot at Rice before number three came from the penalty spot on 64 minutes.Armour took the spot kick after Hagan had been fouled. As play swept up the pitch towards the Lisburn Distillery goal on 69 minutes,there was an off the ball incident that involved Gavin McDonnell and Wayne Buchanan.The referee red-carded McDonnell and awarded the Whites a penalty which Hagan took.Although Rice saved the initial kick, Hagan followed up to fire home and the game was well beyond the visitors in the 70th minute. A front-line double substitution saw the Whites ease back and Glenavon had a few opportunites towards the end of the game.McKnight hit a post from a free-kick before he tested Matthews with another long-range effort and the keeper blocked a shot from McMahon with his legs.Matthews had to make two final saves before another clean-sheet was recorded. The Whites now travel to The Oval to play current league leaders Glentoran. |
Paul Kirk - Lisburn Distillery
'I am delighted, a clean sheet again, we are doing well again in the league in terms of clean sheets and it's a big tough game next week. I thought everytime that we went forward, itlooked as though we could score a goal but then we looked as if we could concede goals at the back in the first half,
Neil Carson* - Glenavon
'I thought we were well in the game early one but our more experienced players were at fault for the first two goals which sealed our fate.I tried to keep the boys up and at it and the next goal was the turning point.'
*Neil Carson - assistant manager was standing in for Colin Malone who was serving a two-match touch-line ban
