There was stalemate in this afternoon’s Irish Cup final dress rehearsal at the Oval. Eddie Patterson made a number of changes to the line up that lost to Linfield in midweek, with Steven Gordon moving to right back, Jonny Addis taking up a midfield role just in front of the back four and Steven McCullough coming in at left back in place of the injured Marcus Kane.
Glentoran face Portadown at the Oval in the Danske Bank Premiership this weekend.
The 2015 Irish Cup final between Portadown and Glentoran will be played at the Oval on Saturday 2nd May with a 2:30pm kick-off.
Representatives from both clubs will meet with the IFA early next week to finalise arrangements.
We will have NO information on ticketing until after that meeting.
This will be the first final staged at the Oval for 20 years, the last being Carrick Rangers v Linfield in 1995.
This Saturday sees the launch of a book on the career of John Colrain written by Philip Stevenson, Chairman of the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923). The launch will take place in the McLean's Suite at 1pm and members of the famous 'Cougars' team, managed by Colrain, will be in attendance along with members of John's family.
Ruth McCreery has been awarded the Danske Bank 'Unsung Hero' award for April in recognition of all the work she does behind the scenes for Glentoran Football Club.
She was presented with the award by Chairman, Stephen Henderson prior to last night's fixture at the Oval.
Congratulations Ruth from everyone at the club on your fully deserved award. All you do for Glentoran FC is greatly appreciated by the players, staff, supporters and board.

In a season of many positives a major failure for Eddie Patterson's side will undoubtedly be our poor results in the 'Big Two' fixtures this year. Warren Feeney's first season at Linfield has ended unbeaten against Glentoran, winning three and drawing one of the four games this year. To make matters worse for the Glens, the three times that we have taken the lead were the same three that Linfield won.
Glentoran face Linfield in the Danske Bank Premiership at the Oval on Easter Tuesday (kick-off 7:45pm), looking to bounce back from their disappointing result at Lurgan on Saturday.
The Glens have yet to win against their old rivals this season. In the three league meetings so far the Blues have come out on top twice (3-2 and 2-1) with the other game ending in a 2-2 draw.
It was a strange game in many ways at Mourneview Park this afternoon with the scoreline suggesting an easy win for the home side. Although Glentoran were disappointing in the latter stages of the match they more than held their own for the first hour. Ultimately the combination of not putting the ball in the net when you are on top, making unforced errors at the back and a couple of somewhat strange refereeing decisions left the East Belfast Glens with nothing to show for their afternoon's work.
