Glentoran Women 1-0 Pyunik Women
The Glens can fly home from Cyprus in a good frame of mind for the rest of the domestic season after Emily Wilson’s first half goal was enough to secure a win in the 3rd place playoff game against the Armenian Champions in Paphos today.
Chief Coach Kim Turner made just two changes from Wednesday’s Mura game with Annie Timoney and Sofie Keenan and coming into the defence in a strong starting lineup.
Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Glentoran
The profligacy in front of goal that nearly cost us at the Blanchflower on Tuesday was repeated today at Stangmore Park and cost us all three points in the Sports Direct Premiership.
Match Preview: Dungannon Swifts v Glentoran
Saturday 7 September
Kick Off 3pm
Off we go to Stangmore Park on Saturday for what should be another cracking game.
Rodney McAree’s Swifts have enjoyed a solid start to the league campaign; they suffered narrow defeats away to Linfield and Cliftonville but opened the campaign with a home draw against Coleraine and have beaten Ballymena United at home and - most recently - Loughgall away last weekend and sit in fifth place in the early season table.
NS Mura Women 3-2 Glentoran Women
A disappointing afternoon in Cyprus as a first half 3 goal deficit was just too much for the Glens to make up and the squad will not now make the group stages ofv the UEFA Women's Champions League.
Chief Coach Kim Turner had a full-strength squad available bar the injured Emma McMaster. So a strong mixture of experience and youth in both the starting lineup and on the bench.
H&W Welders 2-2 Glentoran (4-5 on penalties)
An injury time James Singleton goal and a successful penalty shootout saved the Glens' blushes and progressed us through to the quarter final of the County Antrim Shield after a night of profligacy in front of goal at the Blanchflower Stadium tonight.
Declan Devine made five changes from Saturday’s win over Cliftonville, giving debuts to Andrew Mills, Danny Amos and Finley Thondike and a first start to Kodi Lyons-Foster. Jay Donnelly also started and Fuad Sule was serving a one match suspension.
