Two first half goals from Curtis Allen gave Glentoran a deserved victory at the Newry Showgrounds in this evenings Danske Bank Premiership fixture. Mick McDermott made two changes to the starting line up for this game with Nathan Kerr returning in place of Willie Garrett (ill) and Robbie McDaid replacing Paul O'Neill.
Friday 19 April 2019 kick off 7.45pm.
On Friday evening we travel to South Down to the Showgrounds, where we will face Newry City for the third time in 2019 and the fourth time this season.
Glentoran Under 20 players Mal Smith, Lewis McGarvey and Sean Og Gallagher all figured prominently at the Dub tonight as the Northern Ireland Under 18 Schoolboy team had a comfortable 3-1 win over the Republic of Ireland to win the Centenary Shield outright.
The boys are joined in the photograph by Glens team mates Paul McLaughlin and Jamie Glover, who both played prominent roles for Northern Ireland in the erlier stages of the tournament. Paul and Jamie missed tonight's game as they are needed for the Glentoran first team squad at Newry tomorrow night.
Glentoran Women followed last week's double figure win in the County Antrim Cup with a 6-0 home win over newly promoted Comber Rec in tonight's opening game in the 2019 Danske Bank Women's Premiership.
Kelly Bailie scored an excellent hat trick supported by two goals from the prolific Rachel Rogan and one from Demi Vance.

Everyone at Glentoran was saddened to hear of the passing of Eamon Byrne on Monday evening. He was 78.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Mary and his sister, Dympna. Also to Eamon's children, Lorraine, Colm, Mark, Neal, Paul,Alan and Jason.
As a tribute to Eamon we have reproduced below an article published in the Glentoran Gazette in January 2017. It was written by Roy Downes.
Congratulations to Stevie Gordon on making his 150th first team appearance in yesterday's draw with Ards.
Stevie joined the Glens from Glenavon (for whom he made a number of first team appearances under Gary Hamilton in 2011/12 season) in summer 2012, making his debut the following December as substitute for Jimmy Callacher in a 5-0 home league win over Donegal Celtic.
There will be mixed feelings after today's 1-all draw against Ards in the Danske Bank Premiership. Relief that we are still in that crucial 7th position in the table which would ensure a Europa League play-off spot but disappointment that we couldn't capitalise more on Institute's defeat at Dungannon. Gavin Peers returned to the starting line up following his suspension with skipper, Marcus Kane moving to left back and Steven Gordon going to left back. Nathan Kerr dropped to the bench.
Glentoran U20 had a convincing 4-0 home win over Ballymena United today. Glens goals were shared betweem Sean Og Gallagher, Matthew Carson, Sean Wallace and Nathan Best. In the next round the boys face an away tie with Cliftonville.

Glentoran Women entertain Comber Rec at the Oval on 29th April in the quarter final of the Danske Bank Premiership.
