Glentoran FC are pleased to announce that in association with Kukri we will be producing a new kit for the Irish Cup Final on 4th May 2013.
Due to major timescale restrictions, the Irish Cup Replica Shirt will be sublimated (a process of direct transfer of print to fabric ie. NOT embroidered) similar to the 130th Anniversary Shirt produced last October. The option for name and number on the back is not available.
We are offering supporters, supporters clubs or local businesses the opportunity to sponsor a player's shirt for the Irish Cup Final 2013.
The 14 match worn shirts from the Irish Cup Final are available to sponsor at £150 each.
Glentoran Football Club will be hosting a meeting at The Oval Premier Lounge on Wednesday evening at 7.30pm and are inviting all Glentoran supporters to attend. This meeting is taking place straight after another supporters meeting at 7pm discussing an End of Season Awards dinner, hosted by Jodie Killops and Eddie Patterson.
The Internet GSC is running a bus to Ballinamallard for the Danske Bank Premiership game against Ballinamallard United this Saturday, 13th April. The fare is £12 and the bus leaves the Park Avenue Hotel at 11am, stopping for lunch and refreshments at the Valley Hotel, Fivemiletown.
A second half header from substitute Marcus Kane sent Glentoran through to their first Irish Cup final for seven years at a sunny Windsor Park this afternoon.
It's been a rollercoaster of a season so far for Glentoran. With the problems off the pitch constantly grabbing the media headlines, the last week has finally seen Glentoran making the headlines for the right reasons: for football reasons. As the build up hits fever point for tomorrow's Irish Cup Semi-Final at Windsor Park, East Belfast prepares to decorate the national stadium in red, green and black. The support received throughout such a difficult season has been fantastic and tomorrow is an incredible opportunity to make it a season to remember on the pitch as well.
Tomorrow sees Glentoran face Portadown in the Irish cup Semi-Final, 12.30 PM Windsor Park. It has been years since you have had an excuse to get out that old red green and black face paint, jester hat and flag. Now you have an excuse!
We want to see your pictures of you or any member of your family and friends in your Glentoran gear and colours! Email webmanager@glentoran.com with your pictures and later tonight (if we get enough) there will be a gallery put on the website of all the pictures received.
Following last week's March fixture poster we have another 2 posters advertising our upcoming Irish Cup semi-final.
The match will be played at Windsor Park with a 12.30pm kick-off.
Feel free to download the posters, share them, print them off and stick them up!

Football is all about taking your chances and had Glentoran done that today then the points would have been theirs. With just 3 minutes played a free kick to Glentoran was swung into the danger zone by Stephen Carson. Marcus Kane met it but his header was straight at Glendinning in the home goal. Linfield broke straight down the field though and opened the scoring. Slack defending allowed Matthew Tipton to get a header on goal. Skipper, Elliott Morris produced a fantastic save, tipping the ball onto the crossbar but it fell straight to Peter Thompson who nodded home from close range.
Easter Tuesday sees Derby Day hit Belfast as the original 'Big Two' lock horns at Windsor Park in the Danske Bank Premiership. Although Glentoran and Linfield find themselves 3rd and 4th best this season, the fixture still promises to serve up one of the big attendances of the domestic calendar and as always there will be no love lost between the two sides. Glentoran and Linfield may not be contesting for the league title but there is still significance in Tuesday's game.
