Tuesday 8th February
7.45pm Kick Off
Tomorrow night we make our first visit of the season to Shamrock Park to face Portadown in the Danske Bank Premiership.
New manager Paul Doolin has suffered defeat in his first three games in charge; with league losses at home to Crusaders and away to Larne prior to Saturday’s Irish Cup exit at Coleraine.
Prior to last week’s Danske Bank Premiership win over Warrenpoint Town, the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923) presented a cheque for £2500 to the parent club.
The Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923) are responsible for the production and selling of the multi award winning matchday programme, the Glentoran Gazette.
Please note that all tickets for Glentoran supporters in the Main stand and Sydenham End terrace have been sold out for Friday night's match with Linfield at the Bet McLean Oval.
Supporters must be aware that any tickets purchased for the Railway Stand or City End terrace will be among Linfield supporters. No one with a ticket for away areas of the stadium will be allowed to transfer to a Glentoran area as this would be in breach of the club's safety certificate.
It was a comfortable win for the Glens in today's Samuel Gelston's Whiskey Irish Cup tie at The Dub. 3 goals, one from Michael O'Connor and two from Robbie McDaid, in 8 first half minutes virtually sealed the game. Shay McCartan added a fourth 10 minutes from time and it could have been even more emphatic but for the woodwork coming to the rescue of Queens University on 4 other occasions.
GlensTV has reached agreement with Queen's University to enable Saturday's match to be streamed live with Performa Sports for those unable to make it to the Dub.
The stream will cost £10 and will be available online at the following site from our own bespoke club page:

The game will be filmed by David Kerr of GlensTV.
Saturday 5th February
1.30pm Kick Off
On Saturday we continue our quest for the Samuel Gelston's Whiskey Irish Cup with a second round journey across the city to the Dub for the second time in three years.
Our last visit was at the same stage in February 2020 and turned out much closer than had been expected as a Queen’s equalised twice before Robbie McDaid completed his hat trick to clinch a 3-2 win for the eventual cup winners.
Everyone at Glentoran is saddened to hear of the passing of our player from the fifties and sixties, Matt Crothers.
Matt, a left back who played through the Glentoran Thirds and Seconds, made his first team debut in the 1957/58 season. He made 163 appearances in his six seasons as a squad member and was voted Glentoran Player of the Year for 1961/62.
Below is the ticket information for next week’s (Friday 11th February) Danske Bank Premiership match with Linfield at the Bet McLean Oval.
