Linfield Ladies 1-1 Glentoran Women

Wed, 12/05/2021 - 22:27

A second half equaliser from Northern Ireland international Sam Kelly maintained the Glens' unbeaten start to their title defence at Midgeley Park this evening.

The Big Two went toe-to-toe in a superb end-to-end encounter with both sides creating plenty of chances to win, but ultimately the spoils were shared.

Skipper Jessica Foy fired over for the Glens in the 25th minute but it was the Blues who took the lead when Rebecca Bassett finished in style after Rebecca McKenna created the opening.

On Sunday last, four members of the Dundonald Glentoran Supporters Club took part in Glentoran's  sponsored walk in support of the 10K by May campaign run by Belfast and Lisburn Women’s Aid.

Glentoran 1-0 Cliftonville

A second half goal from Rory Donnelly was enough to see the Glens progress to the quarter-final of the Irish Cup. 

With Marcus Kane out injured, Paddy McClean retained the captain's armband for this game with Mick McDermott sticking to the same back four that played against Coleraine. Dale Gorman and Jamie McDonagh started in place of Andrew Mitchell and the injured Robbie McDaid.

Before kick-off, a minutes silece was observed as a mark of respect to former Glentoran Chairman, John Parkinson, who sadly passed away earlier this week.

Bigi played every minute of our seven-match unbeaten April in the Danske Bank Premiership and secured 52% of the supporters’ vote. Rory Donnelly, scorer of five goals in the month was a strong runner up with Jay Donnelly third and Luke McCullough fourth,

Sion Swifts 0-3 Glentoran Women

Thu, 06/05/2021 - 00:04

Champions Glentoran  Women eased to a three-goal win at Sion Swifts thanks to a 15-minute hat-trick from striker Kerry Beattie.

The Northern Ireland international hit a quickfire treble between the 63rd and 78th minute to secure Billy Clarke’s side the points - the equivalent fixture last season saw the only match in which the Glens dropped points in a shortened campaign, when they went down to a 4-3 loss.

The first half was a cagey affair with few clear-cut openings for either side, before the game was decided by Beattie’s goals.

Obituary: John Parkinson

Wed, 05/05/2021 - 22:19

The Directors of Glentoran Football Club were deeply saddened to hear of the passing this afternoon of lifelong Glenman and former Club Chairman, John Parkinson.

John was a long-standing active member of the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923), the oldest Glentoran Supporters Club and long-time producers of the Glentoran Gazette. 1923 Chairman Jimmy Carter kindly submitted this obituary on behalf of his friends in the club. All these sentiments and warm memories are shared by all who knew John at all levels within Glentoran.
