Glentoran secured their fourth consecutive Electric Ireland Women's Challenge Cup after beating Sion Swifts 2-1 at Windsor Park.

Jessica Foy opened the scoring with a superbly executed free-kick into the top left corner from just outside the right side of the area.

Then Northern Ireland international Joely Andrews (below) doubled the scoring just five minutes later.
