Match Preview
It’s matchday 18 in the Danske Bank Premiership and Glentoran, following last week’s deserved draw at Glenavon, can move up to 7th in the table should they beat Ards and Dungannon Swifts lose to Crusaders.
When the two teams met in Bangor earlier in the season it was newly promoted Ards, then occupying 3rd spot in the table, who took all 3 points with a comfortable 2-nil victory. Glentoran were in 9th spot, a position they still occupy. Roy Coyle was in charge for that fixture, the game coming just a few days after Alan Kernaghan’s resignation.

THERE’S A GREEN SWARD CALLED THE OVAL - by Sam Robinson
Six months ago, I found myself down at the Oval football stadium on a perfect sunny evening in late May. I was responding to a plea made to supporters by the groundsman to help him water the pitch. The kind of thing you don’t get to do at the Bernabeu.
