Everyone at Glentoran Football Club was saddened to learn of the passing, earlier today, of Arthur Stewart.
On behalf of the President, Chairman, Board of Directors, Staff, Players and Supporters, we extend our deepest sympathy to Arthur's wife Eileen, sons Paul & James and his surviving brothers & sisters; Allen, John, Trevor, Dorothy and Olive.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.
Curtis Allen has become only the fourth player to win the Supporters' Player of the Month vote with his win in February.
In a month of extremes for Glentoran, Curtis scored no fewer than NINE goals in the seven matches played, taking his total for the season so far to nineteen. He started the month with all four goals in our Irish Cup win over Ballyclare Comrades, following up with goals against Ballinamallard United, Ards, the winner against Cliftonville and finally a double against Warrenpoint Town.
To recognise the lifeblood of our game the NI Football League are delighted to announce the Danske Bank Premiership Superfan Award.
If you know a Glentoran Superfan we are inviting you to nominate them for a chance to win the Danske Bank Superfan Award plus a Glentoran Season Ticket for the 2018/19 Season. We know how many of you are passionate about Glentoran, now is your chance to be rewarded for it.
Nominations close on 31st March 2018 and to nominate please go to http://bit.ly/2BVzJh6
Today’s scheduled Irish Cup qtr final tie has been postponed. The tie will be rescheduled for 13/03/2018 19:45ko
Weather permitting we travel north to the Showgrounds to face Coleraine in the Tennents’ Irish Cup Quarter Final in what will be our most important game of the season so far.
So far this season, three players have won the Glentoran Player Of The Month, voted on by Glentoran supporters. The winners have been Curtis Allen, Calum Birney and Elliott Morris who has won it an incredible four of the six months. With five wins, seventeen goals scored and three clean sheets in the month we should have a few more candidates this time round. Just place your vote beside your choice. Voting closes at 11.59pm on Saturday 3rd March with the winner announced the following day.
Team captain Marcus Kane will make his 200th first team appearance in Saturday’s Tennents’ Irish Cup Quarter Final (weather permitting).
Marcus, who is 26, joined Glentoran from Linfield in July 2012 after a season on loan at Carrick Rangers. He made his debut in a 3-1 home win over Donegal Celtic on 11th August 2012, scoring his first goal in an away League Cup win over Institute two months later.
A hattrick from Robbie McDaid and a brace from Curtis Allen saw Glentoran make it two home wins in four days. It was the best Oval performance the Glentoran fans have witnessed for some time and the win could have been more emphatic with Curtis Allen having a goal ruled out for offside and the crossbar being struck twice also.
Glentoran v Warrenpoint Town
Tuesday 27th February 2018, 7.45pm kick off.
Warrenpoint visit the Oval on Tuesday to play the game abandoned at half time on January 2nd.
We’ve won both matches we’ve played this season – a 2-0 home win in September through goals from Curtis Allen and Robbie McDaid and a 2-3 victory at Milltown in late November when goals from Daniel Kelly (2) and Tiarnan McNicholl saw us through in a tense match after we lost an early two goal lead. The abandoned match was 0-0 after 45 minutes.
Curtis Allen's second half goal proved enough for Glentoran in today's Danske Bank Premiership game against Cliftonville.
