Glentoran Assistant Manager Tim McCann Lauds Team’s Clinical Display in 3-0 Victory Over Glenavon

Glentoran secured a return to winning form, defeating Glenavon 3-0 at Mourneview Park. Following the match, assistant manager Tim McCann described his team’s second-half performance as “outstanding.” Danny Amos opened the scoring, with Finley Thorndike and Dylan Connolly subsequently extending Glentoran’s lead. McCann expressed satisfaction with his squad’s clinical finishing and their success in maintaining a clean sheet. Speaking to BBC Sport NI, McCann reflected on recent challenges, stating: “It’s been difficult the last couple of weeks there have been games we have gone in 1-0 up at half-time when we are well on top, but we couldn’t get the killer goals and lucky enough we did that in the second half.” He added: “We’re happy enough with the clean sheet and three goals.” McCann attributed the significantly improved second-half showing, which followed a balanced first half, to Declan Devine’s team talk during the interval. He further commented: “I thought Glenavon were outstanding in the first half they gave us a real game and goals change games, and luckily we got the first goal.” Elaborating on the half-time discussion, McCann explained: “We knew we could have played a bit better in the first half, but we got them in at half time and Decky had a few words with them saying ‘let’s go after it and get that second goal’ and kill the game off and play on the front foot. “I thought second half the boys were outstanding we got the second goal and then the third.”
