If you sponsored a shirt for last year's 2017/18 season, the presentation of match worn players shirts will take place this Saturday 18th August at 5:30pm in the McLean Suite. Players and staff will be in attendance.
A light buffet will be served.
Saturday 11th August was the traditional Player of the Year Awards night at the Hillfoot Glentoran Supporters Club. Glentoran players and directors were made very welcome as always to one of our most hard working and dedicated supporters clubs.
The wards presented on the night were the Hillfoot GSC Glentoran Supporters' Player of the Year, and the Hillfoot GSC Glentoran Young Player of the Year.
Goals from John McGuigan and Curtis Allen gave Glentoran their first points of the season in a comfortable victory away to Ards. Ronnie McFall named an unchanged starting eleven from last week's last gasp defeat to Cliftonville with new signing Lee Chapman taking his place amongst the substitutes.
Glentoran is pleased to announce the signing of Joe Crowe.
Joe (20) is a defensive midfielder or central defender and joins after spending the second half of last season at Linfield.
Ronnie McFall said on Thursday evening after signing Joe: “I’m pleased to have got Joe and we moved pretty quickly after he negotiated his release from Linfield at the end of last week. He’s played over 40 games at a good level for Norwich City U23s and spent the second half of the 2017 season in the first team at Limerick City in the League of Ireland where he got plenty of game time.
Saturday 11th August 2018, Kick Off 3pm
On Saturday we stay in County Down with a visit to Bangor for our first away match of the season.
Last season we had a very uneven run of results against Ards, winning both away games but losing twice at the Oval. On our last visit to Bangor we had a comfortable 4-1 win, including two penalties from Dylan Davidson. We'll be looking for a win this Saturday to kickstart the season after last week's injury time home defeat.
Both teams had excellent wins last night with a surfeit of goals in both games.
Glentoran Women really bounced back into form with an 11-0 win over Portadoenm Ladies. Caragh Milligan led the way with four goals but the load was shared well with Nadene Caldwell (2), Makyla Mulholland, Kelly Bailie, Ali McMaster, Samantha Kelly and Jessica Foy all on the scoresheet. This win moves us into fourth place in the league table, 2 points behind Crusaders and 4 behind Cliftonville.
Before Saturday’s opening match the club was very pleased to welcome onto the pitch and into the Boardroom our Super Cup NI players.
This year's tournament saw a record number of Glentoran players representing their Counties and Club NI at the prestigious annual tournament.
We had three players in the Antrim Premier Team with Sean Gallagher winning player of the tournament for Antrim.
Also in the premier competition we had five players selected for County Down who helped Down all the way to the Final.
The Ron Manley “Yorkie” Suite was formally opened on Saturday by Glentoran Chairman, Stephen Henderson and his Cliftonville counterpart, Gerard Lawlor.
