Seconds through in George Wilson Cup.
Glentoran U20 (in the tournament as the traditional Glentoran II - record 11 time winners of the trophy) tonight made it comfortably through the second round of the George Wilson Cup with a 5 - 1 win at the Oval over Annagh United Reserves.
Salou Jallow, Karl Hamill, Paddy Cafolla and Paul O'Neill all returned to the team following recent first team activity while Nacho Novo and Dwayne Nelson featured as over age players.
The Wee Glens' goals came from Karl Hamill, Eddie Shaw, Kris Gaw, Paul O'Neill and Paddy Cafolla.
Reception for the Wee Champions
The Board of Directors of Glentoran FC were proud to invite the Glentoran Academy Under 13 team into the Boardroom today in recognition of their achievement of becoming Champions of NIBFA National League.
The boys were then presented with their League Championship trophy on the pitch before today’s Danske Bank Premiership game with Ards.
The boys clinched the title with two games to spare in a win on Thursday night over Ridgeway Rovers. Incredibly they have maintained a 100% record in the league so far this season with just two games left to play!
Glentoran 1 - 1 Ards
Eric Foley’s second half header saw Glentoran finish their season with a 1-1 draw against Ards at the Oval to finish in 9th place in the Danske Bank Premiership. There were a couple of changes to the line up from last week’s victory over Portadown, goalkeeper Dwayne Nelson coming in for the injured Elliott Morris and James Ferrin replacing Jay Magee.
