Glentoran Women hit back in the best possible manner tonight for the loss of their league title, with a 2-1 win over new champions Cliftonville at Solitude.
After Glentoran gave the Reds a guard of honour, they demonstrated their determination straight from kick off as star international midfielder Joely Andrews netted the opener with three minutes played with a superb effort from 25 yards which flew over Rachel Norney in the Cliftonville goal.
Statement from Raven Glentoran Supporters’ Club
The Raven Glentoran Supporters Club are very saddened by the passing of our member, Eddie Smith (95) at the weekend.
Eddie was one of life's gentlemen, as the saying goes: he wouldn't pass you!
Two second half goals in three minutes enabled Glentoran to see off a very competitive Loughgall side tonight in the Bet McLean Cup Quarter Final to extend our winning run to fourteen games in all competition.
In a much-changed team from Friday’s win over Larne, the Glentoran support had a very pleasant surprise in seeing Luke McCullough make his first appearance in twelve months, following his recovery from a cruciate injury.

Kick Off 7.45pm
On Friday we have a very exciting and important top of the table six pointer when the two teams with a currently unbeaten record so far in the Danske Bank Premiership Meet at the Bet McLean Oval.
Big game, big news and big names – it’s all in Friday night’s 40-page Glentoran Gazette. Beth Stafford and Joe Burns’ graphic of striker Danny Purkis fronts an issue that has the lowdown on Paul Millar’s secret Vienna Cup mission. The Gazette team previews the table-topping clash of the League’s big spenders while Mick McDermott lauds the Glens defence for standing firm in the face of late Newry City pressure and talks of a big test against Larne.
Glentoran’s two-year tenure as Danske Bank Women’s Premiership Champions came to an end despite this late fightback against Linfield at Ashfield to night
The Glens fought back from being two goals down to rescue a draw against, but it was not enough to keep our hopes of retaining the title alive.
Goals in either half from Keri Halliday and Emily Reid had given the Blues a two-goal lead but a Louise McFrederick own goal and Caragh Hamilton equaliser ensured the points were shared.
Goals from Northern Ireland Euros stars Joely Andrews and Nadene Caldwell gave holders Glentoran a third successive County Antrim Cup in this Final clash with Crusaders at the Blanchflower Stadium tonight – a repeat of last year’s outcome between the same two sides.
A goal from Conor McMenamin, early in the first half, gave the Glens all 3 points in today's Danske Bank Premiership meeting at the Newry Showgrounds.
