Another Fans Vote for Bobby
Bobby Burns has won his second consecutive supporters’ vote and has been named as the January Glentoran Player Of The Month. In a competitive field Bobby won with 44% of all votes cast.
Bobby played in all our league games in January and his assists played a major part in our renaissance under Rodney McAree. He has appeared in 29 of our 32 matches so far this season, firmly establishing himself in the midfield for role he was signed for, after filling in for the injured Marcus Kane at left back for most of last season.
Portadown 0-3 Glentoran
The Glens made it through to the quarter-finals of the 'Samuel Gelston's Irish Whiskey Irish Cup with a comfortable win over Portadown at Shamrock Park this afternoon. Two goals from Jay Donnelly and a wonder strike from Niall McGinn decided the tie but manager, Rodney McAree also had the added bonus of welcoming Conor McMenamin back and seeing new signing, Chukwuemeka Uzokwe (Junior) have a decent debut.
