Following our achievement of securing European qualification with a match to spare, we end our season tomorrow we end our season with the visit of Crusaders to the Oval.

Matches at the Oval this season have seen a 1-0 win for each side - the Glens winning the last league encounter thanks to Jay Donnelly's spectacular injury time lob over goalkeeper Sean O'Neill and Crusaders winning the Irish Cup Quarter Final 2 weeks ago via Billy Joe Burns' first half header from a corner.

The club is delighted to announce that forward Caragh Hamilton has been voted Ulster Women’s Footballer of the Year for the 2020 season. The award was organised by the Castlereagh Glentoran Supporters Club alongside the long-standing men’s award.

Caragh joined the club at age 15 and made an immediate impact from the right wing in her first season. She was called up to the u17 international squad and this was followed by a call up to the senior international squad. Caragh excelled for club and country and played a big role in successful Glentoran League and Cup winning teams.

Tuesday 25th May 2021, Kick Off 7.45pm

Tomorrow evening we visit Inver Park for our penultimate league game in what is a virtual cup final for both sides with European qualification guaranteed by a Glentoran victory.

So far, we have played Larne four times this season with one Glens win and three draws in normal time (Larne winning a shootout after a goalless draw in the County Antrim Shield Final at Seaview in December). Our last visit to Inver was in January when Robbie McDaid equalised a Jeff Hughes opener as the game ended 1-1.

Many Glentoran supporters will be aware of the recent sudden death of former Shelbourne, Finn Harps and Waterford player Alan Keely at the tragically young age of 38. Alan was the son of former Glentoran captain Dermot Keely, who captained Ronnie McFall’s team to the Irish Cup Final victory over Linfield in the 1982-83 season. Indeed Alan was born during Dermot’s two-year spell in East Belfast.

However, the league leaders hit back in emphatic style as their trio of Northern Ireland international summer signings all found the net.
