Highlights as Cliftonville defeat Glentoran 3-0 in the County Antrim Shield semi-final at Windsor Park.

Cliftonville put their early-season struggles behind them as they romped past holders Glentoran in Wednesday's County Antrim Shield semi-final.

The Reds went ahead on 39 minutes with Barry Johnston unleashing a great shot from just inside the penalty area after a slick passing move.

It was 2-0 three minutes later when Sean Ward headed Rory Hamill's corner into his own net.

Chris Scannell scored the third goal on 75 after a superb Francis Murphy run.

Murphy beat three challenges before teeing up Scannell to score.

The Reds were the better side throughout the Windsor Park contest and the understrength Glens, after a promising start, faded from the game.

Glentoran manager Alan McDonald elected to rest a number of his first teams regulars ahead of Saturday's JJB Sport Premiership clash against Linfield.

Cliftonville's win sets up a decider against Linfield, who edged out Crusaders on penalties in Tuesday's opening semi-final.
