Glentoran boss Mick McDermott says Jay and Rory Donnelly deserve immense credit and respect for playing for the Irish League club on the same week as their mother’s passing following illness.
Jay scored a brace and Rory also starred in Monday night’s crucial 2-1 win over Cliftonville at Solitude, a result that eased the Big Two giants up to second in the Danske Bank Premiership.
The two brothers were plunged into mourning yesterday with Rory confirming his “beautiful mother” had “gained her wings and went to heaven” in the early hours of Thursday.
