Congratulations to our first team players Nathan Kerr and Cricky Gallagher who were in the starting line up for Northern Ireland Under 21s in their international friendly v Bulgaria in Spain this afternoon. Northern Ireland won the match 1-0 with a first hald goal from Sayne Lavery (Everton).
Next match - also in Spain - is on Monday when the boys take on Mexico.
The Glens first team squad supported World Down Syndrome Day 2019 tonight at training at Aquinas by wearing odd socks for Odd Socks Day.
Kitman Sean McManus (ironically the only man in the photograph not actually wearing socks!) organised the supply of odd socks to the players. Hope he has them back in the right place in time for our visit to Solitude. After the kit debacle before our recent match at Coleraine Showgrounds we can't take any chances!
Glentoran Under 20s got back to winning ways after a ten day break for International matches with a 6-1 win over Ballymena United. Goals came from Mal Smith, Sean Wallace, Ben Cushnie, Sean Gallagher and Benji Magee with his first two goals for the U20s.

Northern Ireland Manager Michael O'Neill returned to the scene of his 2002-2003 Championship triumph as a key member of Roy Coyle's Glens team this week when he brought his senior squad to the Oval for training sessions ahead of Thursday's home Euro 2020 Qualifier v Estonia.

Another extremely proud weekend for our Academy that saw no fewer than seven graduates featuring in our first team’s Danske Bank Premiership away win over second placed Ballymena United. The boys in question were James McCarthy and Paul O’Neill. (who both started) and Sean Og Gallagher, Malachy Smith, Paul McLaughlin, Jack Henderson and Sean Wallace who were all on the bench. Their fellow Academy graduate Jamie Glover, who picked up an injury in Northern Ireland’s Centenary Shield win over Scotland last Thursday, made an excellent first team debut the previous week at home against Ards.
Our away Danske Bank Premiership match with Cliftonville has been rearranged for Saturday, March 30 at 3pm.
The match was originally scheduled for this Saturday but has been postponed due to the call ups for Nathan Kerr and Cricky Gallagher for the N.Ireland Under 21 squad.
Glentoran produced an excellent performance at the Ballymena Showgrounds to claim all three points in today's Danske Bank Premiership fixture. The win moved the Glens into 7th spot and that coveted Europa League qualifying position.
Saturday 16th March 2019, Kick Off 3.00pm
On Saturday (weather permitting!) we travel to the Showgrounds for the first time since November to face second placed Ballymena United.
Glentoran Football Club is delighted to announce Jeff Stelling of Sky Sports will be visiting the Oval later this year as part of the Northern Ireland leg of his legendary charity walk to football stadia across the United Kingdom
