Under 20s: Crusaders v Glentoran
Glentoran Under 20s faced off against Crusaders on Saturday looking to maintain their winning streak in the NIFL Premiership Development League.
The Glens started the game at a high tempo having a number of half chances in the opening 15 minutes.
They went ahead shortly after and what a goal it was with nearly every player getting a touch of the ball before Tiarnan McAuley's cross into the box found Padraig Hughes who swivelled and shot to put his side in front.
Good Luck to Glentoran Academy teams this Weekend
It has been a busy summer for the Glentoran Academy with over a dozen players represented at The SuperCup NI (The Milk Cup). On top of that in the last couple of weeks, 10 Glentoran players in the U14, U15 and U16 age groups represented Northern Ireland in various tournaments both at home and in Holland. As always, a number of players were also on trial at some of the UK's top academies.

Annagh United 3-2 Glentoran
Glentoran went into this tie as massive favourites against the NIFL Championship’s bottom club, Annagh United and should have had it all wrapped up in the first 20 minutes! As well as dominating possession, the Glens created numerous chances but failed to take them and that wayward finishing ultimately proved to be their downfall.
Statement
Following tonight's 3-2 defeat to Annagh United in the League Cup, manager Alan Kernaghan tendered his resignation to the Chairman and it has been accepted.
Roy Coyle will take temporary charge of the team.
A further statement will be issued in due course.
Match Preview
Glentoran travel to mid-Ulster to face Annagh United in the League Cup; kick-off 7:45pm.
The Glens will be looking to get back to winning ways following their very poor result and performance last Friday night at Coleraine in the Danske Bank Premiership.
Glentoran haven't lifted the League Cup since the 2009-10 season when we defeated Coleraine at Windsor Park. Another win is long overdue!
