Bangor progressed comfortably into the next round of the Steel & Sons Cup with a 9-0 win over Kilmore Rec at the Bangor Fuels Arena this afternoon.
Jack Wasson opened the scoring after 4 minutes with a somewhat fortunate looping effort. Dale Patton and the returning Ethan Boylan followed up with goals number 2 and 3 before the 20 minute mark.
Five minutes before half-time, defender Chris Getty fired one into the top corner from wide on the right to make it 4-0.
Dwaine Beattie and Dale Patton both found the net with speculative strikes just before half-time to make it 6-0 at the break.
Bangor had to wait until the 75th minute for their next goal when Kyle Woods tapped in a rebound from a Keith Armstrong shot from distance.
Captain Andy Long's 40 yard cross (definitely a cross) from wide on the right somehow found the back of the net to make it 8-0 and Jordan Lucas completed the scoring in the 89th minute when he broke the offside trap to slide the ball past the advancing Kilmore keeper.

Bangor suffered a second defeat of the week this evening, going down 2-1 in a closely fought contest with St. James Swifts at the Bangor Fuels Arena.
Michael McClean gave the Seasiders the lead in the 20th minute with a powerful header, but a deflected Eugene Gallagher strike on 44' saw the teams go in level at the break.
The game looked to be heading for a draw until the 84th minute when Jack Wasson's strong challenge richocheted back off Padraig McCormick and into the Bangor net.
Bangor forced a series of corners and pushed hard for an equalizer in the closing minutes, but could not find a way past Maybin in the Swifts goal. Another disappointing result for the Seasiders.

The Seasiders crashed out of the Irish Cup in disappointing fashion this afternoon, going down 2-0 to Glebe Rangers at a blustery Riada Stadium.
Glebe went ahead with a 12th minute penalty and later secured their win with a drilled free-kick that went under the Bangor wall.
Bangor's best chances fell to Niall Atkinson, who was denied twice by excellent stops from the Glebe keeper in the first half.

A last gasp goal from substitute Michael Edgar salvaged a point the Seasiders at the Bangor Fuels Arena tonight.
Kyle Woods headed Bangor into the lead after 15 minutes, but Curtis Dempster's curling free-kick levelled it for Brantwood on 21'.
The second half was barely a minute old when Bangor captain Andy Long was dismissed for a second yellow card. Even with 10 men, Bangor dominated much of the play, but were caught out in the 80th minute when Ross Cowan delicately lobbed Darren Gibbons to put Brantwood ahead.
With five minutes to go, Darren Gibbons saved a Dempster spot kick, and minutes later Bangor were reduced to 9 men when Keith Armstrong was given his marching orders.
With just nine men on the pitch, Bangor rallied and substitute Michael Edgar nodded home the leveller in the 90th minute.
GETTY SIGNS....
Hugh Sinclair has today added experienced defender Chris Getty to his squad. The former Ballyclare Comrades & Glebe Rangers centre-back also had a spell with the Seasiders under Marty Quinn. Chris will be available to face his former club Glebe Rangers in the Irish Cup on Saturday.
