It's matchday 21 in the Danske Bank Premiership for Glentoran tomorrow and a trip to Stangmore Park to face Dungannon Swifts. The Glens have a decent record at Stangmore, winning on their last 3 visits to the Co. Tyrone venue. In the 2012-13 season our visit west resulted in a 3-1 win and last season we won 2-1 in November 2013 (Kane & Hill) and 1-0 (Garrett) on New Year's Day.
Earlier this season Glentoran picked up all three points when the two sides met at the Oval on 27th September. There were just 10 minutes remaining when midfielder, Stephen McAlorum, rifled home a beauty from the edge of the area to give the Glens a 1-nil victory. You can watch the highlights of that game and that marvellous winner on BBC Sport NI HERE .
McAlorum won't feature tomorrow though as he sits out a one-match suspension following his sending off against Portadown two weeks ago. Long-term injury victim David Howland remains out as does Jay Magee. Jim O'Hanlon has returned to training and may make the bench tomorrow. Manager, Eddie Patterson has Calum Birney, Niall Henderson and Fra McCaffrey available again but he will have to decide whether to include any of them in the starting line up or stick with those players who performed so well last week in the 3-1 win over Ballinamallard Utd.
For any supporters unable to make the trip to Dungannon, Glentoran Seconds are in Action at the Oval in the Intermediate Cup. They face Moneyslane and the game will be played to a finish. Kick-off at the Oval is 1:30pm.
