"In-form Hoban opened the scoring for the Glens after just nine minutes. Ryan Cooney delivered a low cross from the right and Hoban took a touch before dispatching a low shot past Scott Pengelly into the bottom corner of the net. The pair then combined for Hoban's second goal just five minutes later, Cooney delivered a free-kick into the heart of the Carrick Rangers defence where the former Derry City man outjumped everyone to head home."
"Hoban duly completed his hat-trick four minutes before half-time, this time capitalising on more lapse Carrick defending to sweep home from 12 yards after Cameron Palmer had presented him with the chance. He wasn't done there as just before the break he got on the end of another Cooney free-kick at the near post to loop a superb header in off the far post."
Pat Hoban scored six goals as Glentoran beat 10-man Carrick Rangers 7-0 at Taylors Avenue. Hoban scored four in the first half and two in the second, with Reece Glendinning sent off for Carrick. Ryan Cooney provided multiple assists, including five assists for Hoban's goals. Liam Burt added a seventh with a fine finish. The victory moved Glentoran within two points of second-place Coleraine and left them with three games in hand. Linfield defeated Bangor 6-1, and Crusaders beat Dungannon Swifts 2-0. Ballymena v Glenavon and Portadown v Cliftonville were postponed due to frozen pitches.
