Glentoran Stadium Safety Officer, Roger Clarke, has asked www.glentoran.com to convey his personal thanks to those Glentoran supporters who attended last night's home match with Portadown, for their impeccable behaviour and cooperation with stewards throughout the evening. This was our first match with supporters present and Roger and the club isdelighted with the positive response to requests for adherence to covid regulations.
Tuesday night's pre-season friendly game against Portadown (kick off 7.30pm) at the Oval will be the first game played at our East Belfast venue since March.
Due to the ongoing pandemic and restrictions imposed by the UK Government, the local Assembly and Belfast City Council we have had to take significant steps prior to the return of supporters.
We would ask that all those attending the game would read carefully the points below and adhere to them in order to provide a safe environment for everyone present.
Glentoran is delighted to announce some new appointments within the coaching side of the club:

The club is delighted to announce that Patrick McClean has signed a new 3-year contract with Glentoran.

Mick McDermott said today of Paddy's new contract: "Paddy has been outstanding since he joined our Club, both on and off the pitch. He has proven his ability week in and week out and has shown maturity beyond his years.
Glentoran commenced an intense series of pre season friendlies today at the Oval. Goals from Paul O'Neill, Dale Gorman (on his debut), Robbie McDaid, Andrew Mitchell, Cameron Stewart and Rory Donnelly gave the Glens a 6-2 win over Bangor in a match when most of the first team squad had a useful run out.
Next home hame is at the Oval on Tuesday night at 7.30pm. Newly promoted Portadown will provide the opposition rather than Ards, as originally published.
For the first time in decades, Glentoran is excited to announce a bold new red away kit for the 20/21 season.

A lively game at the Melvin Sports Complex in Strabane on Wednesday evening saw Glentoran Women drop their first league points of the season following a 4-3 defeat to Sion Swifts. Sion looked strong in the early stages of the game with good possession and took the lead on ten minutes with a neat finish from Erin Fildara following a well measured pass from Caoimhe Walsh. On 19 minutes the Glens got themselves back into the game with a Jess Foy penalty after Caragh Hamilton was brought down in the area.
