Player of the Month: Two in a row for Aidan
Aidan Wilson has continued his great start at the Bet McLean Oval by winning his second successive vote as September's Glentoran Player Of The Month.
Despite fierce competition in a month where the team had a 100% record and conceded not a single goal, Aidan won 51% of the supporters vote. He played in all three Danske Bank Premiership games and in our 7-0 County Antrim Shield win over Lisburn Distillery, in which he scored.
Runner up for the second consecutive month was Conor McMenamin with Shay McCartan finishing third.
Glentoran 5-0 Carrick Rangers
Glentoran’s players celebrated the club’s 140th birthday in some style this evening with this very comprehensive and stylish Danske Bank Premiership win over Carrick Rangers at the Bet McLean Oval, extending our unbeaten start to the season to ten games.
The only change from Tuesday’s win over Warrenpoint was the inclusion of Olly Webber in goal for his second match since returning to the club. Aaron McCarey was unwell. Terry Devlin, James Singleton and Ally Roy returned to the bench after injury.

Glentoran Women 10-1 Mid Ulster Ladies
Glentoran Women closed the gap at the top of the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership to league leaders Cliftonville Ladies to just four points as they hit double figures against Mid Ulster Ladies at Ashfield.
Imogen Lancaster opened the scoring virtually from kick off for her second goal since joining the Glens. Kerry Beattie and Caragh Hamilton both netted first-half braces for the Glens as they raced into an eight-goal half-time lead, with Imogen Lancaster, Joely Andrews and Casey Howe also bagging goals with an own goal from Mid Ulster’s Amy McGarrity.
