Larne's title hopes have been dented after Glentoran closed the gap to just three points with a 2-1 win over Cliftonville. The result, paired with Coleraine's thrashing of league leaders Larne, means that the Glens are now in contention for the title. Glentoran assistant manager Tim McCann said the side's victory has given them a bit of a chance in the title race. Goals from Jordan Stewart and Pat Hoban secured the crucial three points for the east Belfast side. The result has left Larne's title hopes hanging in the balance, with the club now facing a difficult task to regain their lead. The Glens are now unbeaten in their past eight league games and were the 2-0 victors last time they travelled to Stangmore Park to face the Swifts. Despite the important win, McCann also acknowledged that the side 'weren't at our best' at Solitude. 'It is buoyant in the changing rooms,' he continued. 'We probably felt that we left a bit out there, we weren't at our best and we probably didn't get the ball down as much as we should. At this stage of the season, every manager and team will tell you, it doesn't always work. It wasn't for the lack of trying. Sometimes when you try certain things, it doesn't work out. But we got our two goals, we got the three points and we'll move on and see what happens from here.'
