Two headed goals in the last five minutes from Player of the Match Makyla Mulholland gave Glentoran Women a 2-1 victory over Linfield Ladies in the Electric Ireland Women's Irish Cup Final at the National Stadium at Windsor Park tonight. It was no more than the Glens deserved in a hard fought, top quality game as they were on top for most of the 90 minutes.
Goals from two defenders gave the Glens all 3 points in today's Danske Bank Premiership game at the Oval and moved the club up to third place in the early season table.
A reminder to all Glentoran supporters that our women's first team play there Electric Ireland
Glentoran Women will be aiming to stop the treble winning season of Linfield Ladies when the two meet at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park.
The two sides currently sit first and second in the league and we come up against a strong Linfield Ladies team who now need a point from their final three games to secure the league title.
Don’t miss tomorrow’s edition of your multi-award winning Glentoran Gazette at our game against Institute.
Saturday 22nd September 2018
Kick Off 3pm
On Saturday we welcome newly promoted Institute to the Oval for the first time since New Year’s Day 2015. As a club we would like to welcome Institute back to Premiership football. Institute is a club that has faced terrible off the pitch ordeals so it is a testament to the club’s officials, manager, players and supporters that they achieved promotion last season despite the tragic loss of their stadium in winter storms. They certainly deserve their place in this division.
This Saturday Glentoran Women travel to Windsor Park to face Linfield Ladies in the Electric Ireland Women's Irish Cup Final
This is our first Cup Final since 2012. A similar result will do the trick this time as on that occasion the team ran out 3-2 winners over Crusaders Strikers at Solitude with a team containing current players Kelly Bailie, Nadene Caldwell, Demi Vance, captain Jess Foy and the current First Team Coach Gail Redmond.
The most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching ... less than 100 days to Christmas.
For most of us that’s the time of year we get to spend time with our families, exchange gifts, sit round a large table and eat our own body weight in Turkey and Christmas pudding!! But sadly that is not always the case for some families.
Glentoran made heavy weather of this County Antrim Shield tie as two late Curtis Allen goals saw us through to the second round after Queen's had taken a half time lead. Ronnie McFall resisted the temptation to make wholesale changes to the side that defeated Newry City, with the injured Robbie McDaid replaced by Sam Byrne and James Ferrin making his first appearance of the season against his former club in place of Willie Garrett.
Tuesday 18th September 2018, Kick Off 7.45pm
After a weekend off we return to action tomorrow night with a home County Antrim Shield First Round tie with Queen’s University.
We have only played Queen’s once, eight years ago to the day when we were comfortable 5-0 winners at the Oval through a hat trick from Matty Burrows and two from Daryl Fordyce.
Queen’s are currently second in the Bluefin Sport Premier Intermediate League, having won their first two matches.
Glentoran Academy is delighted to welcome Gary McAlister back to the club after a short break in a lead coaching capacity within our senior end.
Gary stepped down from his role with the under 20s at the end of last season to concentrate on his role as County Down Junior Manager.
