We’e had the absolute high of winning the League Cup semi-final, playing fantastically well, against Cliftonville.

“Then we had the final at Windsor, where as I’ve already said Dungannon were much the better side.

“We had a respectable performance against Crusaders, then a most disappointing result to Ards, so to get back on track tonight is very pleasing. Tonight it was all about getting the result.

“It was a very good game, as it always is between the two sides. There’s never much between us, and it’s always nip and tuck.

I don’t think anyone could argue that we didn’t deserve to win.”
