Tomorrow night we welcome Loughgall to the Bet McLean Oval in match eight of this season’s Sports Direct Premiership.
Having confounded all of last season’s predictions that they would battle against relegation to finish comfortably in mid table, Loughgall have found the opening weeks of the new campaign more challenging.
Northern Ireland Under 21 international Jonny Russell is Beth Stafford’s cover star, inspired by the TV series The Walking Dead, for tomorrow night’s Premiership clash with Loughgall. Inside editor John Grayden has an exclusive interview with Declan Devine as well as looking at our opponents’ spat with NIFL on the issue of Sunday football, the 1923 Committee give their critique of the recent Glentoran documentary, Roy Downes looks back sixty years to the Glens’ first European Cup tie and Brian McClelland’s One Season Wonder is Liam Coyle.

This disappointing injury time defeat was in many ways a mirror image of last week at Dungannon with profligacy in front of goal ultimately punished by a breakaway winner.
The game started with plenty of end-to-end action with United having an ambitious penalty claim rightly turned down in the 6th minute when Marcus Kane slipped in his own area. Not long after that Frankie Hvid headed just wide from one of Daniel Amos’ many accurate corners then Daniel Gyollai made a great stretching save to deny the in-form Ben Kennedy.
Glentoran Women’s 5-year domination of the Electric Ireland Women’s Challenge Cup came to an end with this semi final defeat at Ballyclare this evening.
There were a number of changes made from last week’s win in Cyprus. Aimee Neal, Jenna McKearney and recent signing Kelly Crompton came into the starting line up with Nadene Caldwell injured and Emily Wilson and Annie Timoney on the bench.
Belfast City Council this week paid tribute to legendary Glentoran manager Roy Coyle when Lord Mayor Micky Murray presented him with a Lifetime Achievement in Sport Award in the Lord Mayor’s Parlour in the City Hall.

On Saturday we make our first visit to the Showgrounds since our 2-0 Sports Direct Premiership win there in August 2023.
The Board of GFC 1882 Ltd is delighted to announce that Nichola Miller has been co-opted as a new board member with immediate effect.
The Glens can fly home from Cyprus in a good frame of mind for the rest of the domestic season after Emily Wilson’s first half goal was enough to secure a win in the 3rd place playoff game against the Armenian Champions in Paphos today.
Chief Coach Kim Turner made just two changes from Wednesday’s Mura game with Annie Timoney and Sofie Keenan and coming into the defence in a strong starting lineup.
The profligacy in front of goal that nearly cost us at the Blanchflower on Tuesday was repeated today at Stangmore Park and cost us all three points in the Sports Direct Premiership.
