Glentoran Women News: Lycka till Jackie
Everyone at Glentoran Women wishes goalkeeper Jackie Burns all the very best as she leaves the club to start a two year full time professional career with BF Häcken in Gothenburg, Sweden. Jackie - Northern Ireland's first choice keeper and likely to remain so for the forthcoming Euros in England - was a star of the Glens' 2020 League and Cup winning squad and started the 2021 season as first choice keeper before returning to university in the USA. She will be missed by everyone at the club.
Glentoran 0-1 Cliftonville
A challenging few days off the pitch for Glentoran took a disappointing turn on it this evening as a second half Rory Hale goal gave Cliftonville the opportunity to leapfrog into a two-point lead over us in the Danske Bank Premiership.
The Glens’ starting line-up showed three changes from the one that beat Newry City on Saturday. Darren Cole replaced Joe Crowe in central defence, stand-in skipper Seanan returned to midfield and Rory Donnelly was brought back in to face his former club. Robbie McDaid and Shay McCartan dropped to the bench after starting on Saturday.
