Three minutes of shambolic defending at the start of the second half cost the reigning champions both their 100% record and place at the top of the table with this defeat at the Blanchflower this evening.
The Glens welcomed back top scorers Kerry Beattie and Emily Wilson who both missed last week’s win over Larne. But it was the visitors who had the first effort tonight through Caitlin McGuinness but it was well saved by Ashleigh McKinnon.
A massive game in store at the Blanchflower tomorrow night as the 2 dominant teams in NI Women’s Football in the past few seasons – the only 2 with a 100% league record so far – meet in the Sports Direct Premiership.
The Reds have had first blood between the teams this season, winning 3-2 at Solitude in April in the Semi Final of the League Cup. On that occasion the Reds came back to win after trailing 2-1 through goals from Emily Wilson and Demi Vance. The Reds went on to win the final last weekend with a 2-0 win over Lisburn Rangers Ladies.

JUNE 200 CLUB WINNERS
The Glens had possibly their biggest league challenge of the campaign so far, as 2 goals in the last 15 minutes finally made the game safe at Blanchflower this evening.
With top scorers Kerry Beattie and Emily Wilson both unavailable, Head Coach Kim Turner was forced to reshuffle with Rachel Rogan starting up front and Emma McMaster returning after missing last week’s game through injury.
Today we are delighted to bring you our new kit for 2024/25 season. This kit delves into our club, our strong history and most importantly our DNA.
I give you our DNA Edition Home Kit 2024/25
Continuing our partnership with Castore, the shirt is designed to embody the pride, passion and history associated with representing our club.

NIFL today released the Sports Direct Premiership fixtures for the 2024/25 season.
Glentoran Football Club is delighted to announce our second signing of the close season and to welcome Wassim Aouachria to the Bet McLean Oval.
Wassim (24) is a French/Algerian centre forward who joins us from Galway United in the League of Ireland Premiership. He played a major part in Galway’s successful promotion push in the 2023 season and has also played for Charlton Athletic and Waterford. He was a product of the Marseilles Academy and has been capped for Algeria at Under 18 level.
Something had to give in Lisburn this evening as after 4 games in the Sports Direct Women’s Premiership both Glentoran and our recently promoted opponents were on 100% win records. Fortunately, it was Glentoran who stamped their authority as the game progressed, coming away with convincing a win that keeps us tied at the top with last season’s runners up Cliftonville Ladies.
Due to unforseen circumstances the shop will not be open tomorrow (Thursday 20th June).
