By David Menaul

East went into this game with only one thing on their minds......REVENGE.....and it tasted sweet.East welcomed new boy Craig McGrugan to the green machine but this did not stop East trailing 1-0 at half time after poor defending from the East players.East gave themselves a kick up the backside and came out fighting in the 2nd half.Within minutes of the restart East got their equalizer when Jonathan Porter scraped home a goal at the back post.From here on it was just goal after goal,shortly after East took the lead thanks to great work from Neal Hermon who beat the keeper and slotted home.Jonathan Porter scored his second with a well hit short corner.James Greer scored the 4th which was shortly followed by the 5th from Neal Hermon.East play Portrush next Saturday were they will hope to continue their recent good form.
