Glentoran were unfortunate to go down 2-1 at Seaview tonight and certainly deserved a point from the game. Both sides had early efforts on goal; Stephen McAlorum shooting just wide in the first minute with Timmy Adamson shooting weakly at Elliott Morris 3 minutes later. The home side went in front on 11 minutes. Sloppy play from Curtis Allen and Jordan Stewart saw the Crues pick the ball up midway inside their own half and launch it forward down the line.
Glentoran travel across town this evening to face Crusaders in the final pre-split fixture of this season's Danske Bank Premiership. With the glens needing to finish third to guarantee European qualification for next season, it's a game they cannot afford to lose and realistically one they must win. The Glens currently sit in fifth spot, seven points adrift of Crusaders in fourth.
I would just like to personally thank the Glentoran Family for their extreme generosity at yesterday's food collection for St Christopher's Church. "The Larder" was set up approx 18 months ago to collect much needed food items for the needy in East Belfast who find it a task to feed their families in recent times.
Glentoran's hopes of securing European football suffered a serious setback as title-chasing Cliftonville wasted a hatful of chances at the Oval on Saturday, with the game ending scoreless.
The Gazette is back for today's visit of Cliftonville to the Oval and we've 32 pages with something for everyone.
As well as the usual views from the dressing room by Eddie Patterson and Elliott Morris, there are a number of brilliant features, covering many aspects of Glentoran, past and present.
John Moore tells the emotional story of his friend and fellow Glenman who has battled with kidney problems and had his day made when the Irish Cup went to visit him in hospital.
The Glens face the Reds at the Oval this afternoon with both teams needing a win. Cliftonville will be hoping that Linfield drop points at Coleraine and should they overcome Glentoran then they could return to the top of the Danske Bank Premiership. The Glens have won their last two league games 3-nil as they confirmed their place in the top 6. Fourth, or even third, place is still achievable and Eddie Patterson's team will be going all out to try and get that.
The current Irish league Champions make the short trip from North to East Belfast for this weekends Premiership match and after a good performance against Ballinamallard last week and Shamrock Rovers on Monday night, hopefully we can continue to improve our season.
The Premier Lounge will open as normal at 12:30 and we kick of the day with a cracker when Chelsea host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the first Premiership match of the day (KO @ 12:45pm). Happy Hour with all usual offers for members from 12:30-1:30pm.
Glentoran has always been known as a community club but in recent years the feeling among fans is that the club could possibly do more. We have many supporters clubs who raise money or do their bit to raise awareness for charities etc but there is an organization right one our doorstep who are doing their bit to put food on peoples tables, literally!
