Glentoran recorded an emphatic 6-1 win in their annual friendly match with Dundela at Wilgar Park.
The home side included a host of former Glentoran players for this game including the recently released Owain Beggs, former striker Michael Halliday along with Ross Davidson, Kyle Cherry, Daniel Burns and a few others.
Glentoran u13s competed in the Foyle Cup for the second season running and again made the semi-finals only to lose to a full time academy outfit. Last season the boys crashed 3-2 to Hearts and their hearts were broken again this year, by Sheffield United this time after an agonising penalty shoot out.
Glentoran were this week represented in the Foyle Cup with two teams at mini-soccer level (Under 10), the U12s, the U13s and the U16s.
Glentoran performed admirably winning our first 13 games in the competition across all the teams. The mini-soccer were excellent and secured top 10 finishes whilst in the main competition, the U13s were heartbreakingly defeated by Sheffield United on penalties in the semi final and the U16s lost in the Final at the Brandywell 2-1 to Derry Colts.
Glentoran Football Club would like to congratulate five of our academy players who have been selected to represent Co Down Milk Cup team. All the best to them and Co Down in the competition.
The five players are as following from left to right: Patrick Cafolla, Keegan Rice, Karl Hammill, Mark Lowry, Jack Graham
Glentoran had arranged to play Larne on Saturday 27th July with a 6pm kick-off.
Unfortunately this game has had to be cancelled.
We apologise for any inconvenience to supporters.
Next up in our Pre-Season schedule is a Liverpool XI to face a Glentoran team who faired pretty well against a good Kilmarknock side at the weekend in Elliott Morris Testimonial game.
The Liverpool squad includes 6 players who have already graced the Liverpool first team and features our very own under 21 international Ryan McLaughlin. This will be a very tough fixture in our preparations for the upcoming season.
