Despite being awarded the trophy after Cliftonville were punished for the administration error, Glentoran manager Kim Turner said her side “lost the game fair and square” on the day.
She added that “nothing feels unjust” that they didn’t get to celebrate the trophy.
“Ultimately, we lost the League Cup final. Whatever’s went on in the background has went on in the background,” Turner said.
“I have no control of it and neither do the players. We’re out there to win football games, we’re out there to coach, we’re out there to develop players and develop a good culture, and that’s my job here at Glentoran.”
Turner added that it hasn’t impacted the squad and says their full focus has been on the final at Windsor Park against the Reds.
“In order to win trophies and medals, you have to be the best team on the day,” she added.
“For us, the league is over, the League Cup is over and the County Antrim Cup is over.
“We have one more game left, which is the Irish Cup final and that’s our only focus.”
