Three first half goals effectively booked Bangor's place in the last four of the Clearer Water Irish Cup with victory over Glentoran at Clandeboye Park.
The Championship leaders moved in front with just under a quarter-of-an-hour on the clock through leading scorer Ben Arthurs after he pounced on the rebound after his initial effort had been blocked by Kodi Lyons-Foster.
The Seasiders doubled their advantage midway through the first half courtesy of Glens old boy Ben Cushnie.
Reece Neale had sent the original ball forward for Tiernan Mulvenna to lay off for Cushnie who connected with it to blast a great strike past keeper Daniel Gyollai from fully 25 yards.
Then, a minute from the break, Bangor skipper Lewis Harrison added a third when Neale's throw-in was nodded on by Arthurs into his path deliver into the bottom left corner.
Chasing the game in the second half, Glentoran did pull one back on 70 minutes after Aaron Wightman got past the home defence to find Charlie Lindsay with his subsequent strike taking a deflection on it's way past Patrick Solis Grogan into the net.
But despite a number of close calls in the closing stages - including one superb reflex stop from the Bangor keeper - the visitors never really looked like clawing their way back into contention.
The quarter-final action continues on Saturday afternoon. The pick of the games is the north Belfast derby between Crusaders and Cliftonville at Seaview, while Ards host Loughgall and high flying Dungannon Swifts travel to take on Carrick Rangers.
All three ties kick-off at 3pm.
