Glentoran stretched their unbeaten run in the Danske Bank Premiership to 12 games with a 2-nil victory over Glenavon at the Bet McLean Oval this evening.
It was the same starting XI as last Saturday at Carrick but with a much strengthened bench; Plum and Bigirimana being included.
The final Glentoran Gazette before Christmas previews a game between two of the Premiership’s form teams and examines a couple of the Irish League’s live issues. We ask why the IFA’s sanctions on referees are not made public while Assembly Member and Glens fan, Alan Chambers, speaks of his fears over the long delayed funding for the local game. Beth Stafford and Joe Burns shine their cover spotlight on the quietly effective Joe Crowe and Mick McDermott tells why he feels Shay McCartan is set to show fans what he can do.
Friday 17th December
7.45pm Kick Off
On Friday night we welcome Glenavon on Gary Hamilton's tenth anniversary as manager in Lurgan,
Glentoran Women recently hosted their Annual Awards Night at the The Bet McLean Oval. And what a night of deserved celebration it was!
The domestic Grand Slam winners celebrated retention of the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership, Electric Ireland Women’s Challenge Cup and the Toals County Antrim Women’s Challenge Cup. All three cups were on show, as well as the League Cup, held since the 2020 season. There was an excellent attendance of players and their parents who enjoyed the superb food (prepared by Jodie and Clair from the Milk Bar team) and the presentation of awards.
This weekend brings triple good news for Glentoran Head Coach Mick McDermott. He has been named as November’s Aktivora Manager of the Month, seen his team’s unbeaten Danske Bank Premiership run extended to eleven games and has agreed an extension to his existing contract with the club until June 2024.
This is Mick’s fourth Manager of the Month award since joining the club in March 2019. During the month the team took sixteen of eighteen available points in the Danske Bank Premiership, as Glentoran extended the league unbeaten run to ten games and rose to third in the table.

It was a good day for Glentoran in the Danske Bank Premiership. Not only did they secure the 3 points with a 3-nil win to take their unbeaten run to 11 games in the Premiership but results elsewhere were favourable too. The Glens now sit in joint second place in the table, two points behind leaders Cliftonville but with a game in hand.
