It was a day when football, rightly, took a back seat. A day when both the Carrick Rangers and Glentoran families stood together, united in grief. The loss of Jerry Thompson and Harrie Kane, infant son of our skipper Marcus, has touched us all deeply and we struggle with the big question. Why?
There are no words. All we can do is stand alongside the families who are devastated. We assure both of them, you remain in our thoughts and prayers, both now and in the days to come.
Airspace roofing, one of our highly valued club sponsors, very kindly offered their professional services free of charge today at the oval. The staff at Airspace Roofing spent hours cleaning the seats on the main stand and mended seats throughout the stadium in preparation for our "Big Two" Boxing day match. This is in addition to an incredible job done last close season powerwashing the Oval terraces. We would like to thank Dean Nabney and his crew for all their hard work opn this and so many other occasions..
Airspace roofing for all your roofing needs.
Thomas Byrne has left Glentoran. We wish Thomas all the very best for his future career both in and outside football.

On Saturday travel to the Belfast Loughside Arena in the first game after a very sad time for our friends from Carrick Rangers following the tragic loss of their player Jerry Thompson last week.

At Saturday night's Ballymac GSC Annual Christmas Dinner and Dance in the Ballymac Clubrooms, the club presented a cheque for £1,500 to representatives of the club's chosen chartity for last season, Dementia NI.
Great work and gesture from the Ballymac members.

A second half equaliser from, the in-form Robbie McDaid gave Glentoran a point today at home over Crusaders. A point was the very least the Glens deserved from the match, as we extended our unbeaten Danske Bank Premiership run to nine matches.
