Glentoran Academy recently held a four day summer camp for all players from age 11-17. This was organised and coached by Tiernan and Seamus Lynch to provide our young players with a full time experience where they came into a professional environment for four days of coaching and football education.
Glentoran have been drawn at home to Championship 2 side PSNI in the second round of the JBE League Cup. This tie will be played at the Oval on Tuesday 1st September with a 7.45pm kick off. The Glens last played PSNI in August 2012, again in the second round of the League Cup, recording a 3-1 victory.
Two goals from Curtis Allen gave Glentoran their first Premiership victory of the season in a close encounter at the Oval this afternoon. Prior to kick off the fans bade farewell to last season’s Player of the Year Jordan Stewart as he heads to a career in full time football. The Swindon bound midfielder’s place was taken by Fra McCaffrey, Eddie Patterson otherwise naming an unchanged side from last week’s draw at Carrick.
Glentoran FC is pleased to announce the transfer of Jordan Stewart to Swindon Town. The transfer has been completed for an undisclosed fee and protective clauses relating to the usual career developments for Jordan and to sell on fees. We are delighted that the transfer was completed professionally and amicably between the two clubs in just over a week.
Glens of Dublin is the 7-a-side team of the Insaka-Glentoran Academy.
They play in our Seconds team kit donated by the club annually.
The small-sided game specialists come together over the summer months to play in tournaments and exhibition games. Last weekend the team played in the annual Eid World Cup at the Law Society grounds, Dublin for the benefit of the people of Nepal to help them recover from the recent earthquake. The event was organised by Sport Against Racism Ireland, Islamic Relief, Hijabs and Hatricks and Diverse City AFC.
Two games 4 days and two world class goals and Glens TV was there to capture them both,
First we had Jordan Stewart v Crusaders
Then not wanting to be outdone we have Marcus Kane v Carrick Rangers

Glentoran remain without a win in the Premiership after being held to a 1-1 draw by Carrick Rangers at Taylor’s Avenue this afternoon. After his red card in Wednesday night’s game against Crusaders Elliott Morris was serving an automatic suspension so Aaron Hogg took the goalkeeper’s jersey and manager Eddie Patterson brought Jonny Addis in to centre back with Jay Magee dropping to the bench.
Colin Davidson is a Newtownabbey based Glenman who has been a member of the Raven GSC for 20 years.
After listening to the great unnoticed work that goes on at the Glentoran Academy and the release of the favourable fixture list (away to Carrick Rangers in August), Colin decided to do a 10 mile sponsored walk to Carrick to raise funds for 2 much needed causes; the Glentoran Academy and Disability Sport NI. To that end if anyone would care to sponsor Colin please click on the link below, see him at an upcoming match or in Carrick on the day.
