Bangor's League Cup campaign ended with a defeat to Dungannon Swifts at Clandeboye Park on Tuesday. The hosts were knocked out in the Round of 32 after conceding two early goals before pulling one back.
Glackin gave the visitors the lead, with Dillon doubling the advantage. Bangor responded quickly, with Cushnie scoring to halve the deficit. The Seasiders pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way past the Dungannon defence.
Current Form and Position
The result extends a difficult run for Bangor, who have now failed to win in their last matches across all competitions. Their recent form in the Premiership reads as a loss, a draw, and more losses. This leaves the club 12th in the table with just 6 points from 12 games, having scored 10 goals while conceding 24. They are a full 25 points adrift of league leaders Coleraine. The cup defeat follows a 1-2 league loss to the same Dungannon Swifts side on Tuesday 20 October, part of a winless run of five league games comprising four losses and a draw.

Upcoming Challenge
The focus now shifts to a key Premiership fixture this Saturday. Bangor host Larne at Clandeboye Park on Saturday 24 October, a side that beat them 1-0 on 8 September and currently sit 4th in the table. It represents a significant test for a team searching for a first league win since their 3-1 victory over Portadown on 19 September. The next run of games is detailed on the club's fixtures list. The match kicks off at local time.
