Byrne and Crowe were thorns in Glentoran's side in the all-Ireland first qualifying round showdown at The Oval as the Dubliners won 2-1 in Belfast, with Byrne scoring a brace.

A late rally saw Glentoran pull one back through Sean Ward, and with 2,000 fans expected to travel to Tolka Park for next Wednesday's return, the tie is seemingly far from over.
