Glentoran 0-0 Coleraine
Glentoran played most of this top of the table clash with 10-men and although they didn’t take the 3 points which would have put them top of the Danske Bank Premiership, they did retain their unbeaten record and kept their first clean sheet of the campaign.
At 3pm tomorrow, Glentoran host Coleraine at the Oval in a top of the table clash. Coleraine currently sit top of the table with 13 points whilst the Glens are just 1 point behind on 12 points. On the back of two straight victories on our travels at Ballinamallard and then Dungannon, the Glens will look to continue their good form by picking up 3 more points to go top of the table.
