Glentoran win first Sunday game
The first Irish League football fixture to be played on a Sunday has been won by Glentoran.
The east Belfast side beat Bangor 1-0 at the Oval thanks to a goal by Gary Hamilton.
About 20 or 30 protesters protested outside the ground over the match being held on a Sunday.
Both clubs agreed the move after the match was unable to be played on Saturday because of a pitch left waterlogged by heavy rain.
An amendment was made to Irish Football Association rules last year to allow Sunday games if both clubs agree.
