Glentoran Under 20s have strengthened their squad with the additions of Carter Savage, Dale McCreery and Salou Jallow.
Carter Savage (18), a central defender, signs from Glenavon where he made one senior appearance, playing 90 minutes against Linfield in the 2015/16 season. Carter was previously with Glentoran, making over 20 appearances for our reserve side aged 16 following his move back home after a brief spell with Dumbarton FC.
Glentoran 0-3 Crusaders
Two things which have cost Glentoran dearly over the past couple of seasons were very evident again in today's meeting with Crusaders at the Oval meaning the game was decided by the interval; defensive lapses leading to goals and ill discipline.
On a horrendously wet January afternoon in East Belfast, the Glens made just one change to the starting line up which disappointingly exited the Irish Cup last weekend, Marcus Kane coming into the midfield in place of the suspended Stephen McAlorum. Calum Birney and Eric Foley were again missing from the squad due to injury.
