Hot on the heels of their victory in the Electric Ireland Women's Irish Cup Final four days ago, Glentoran Women firmed up their second place in the league table tonight with an outstanding 13-1 rout of Portadown Ladies tonight.
The Glens goals came from Caragh Milligan (5), Rachel Rogan (4), Sarah Gamble, Joely Andrews, Demi Vance and an own goal.
A full report will follow on the Women's Team News section.
The Board of Directors of Glentoran wish to offer their deep and sincere gratitude to the members of the Dundonald Glentoran Supporters Club for their very generous donation of £2,000 before yesterday's home game with Institute. This is another example of the loyalty, dedication to the Glentoran cause and hard work put in by the committee and members of this long established supporters club and is fully appreciated by everyone involved at Glentoran.
Two headed goals in the last five minutes from Player of the Match Makyla Mulholland gave Glentoran Women a 2-1 victory over Linfield Ladies in the Electric Ireland Women's Irish Cup Final at the National Stadium at Windsor Park tonight. It was no more than the Glens deserved in a hard fought, top quality game as they were on top for most of the 90 minutes.
Goals from two defenders gave the Glens all 3 points in today's Danske Bank Premiership game at the Oval and moved the club up to third place in the early season table.
A reminder to all Glentoran supporters that our women's first team play there Electric Ireland

Saturday 22nd September 2018
Kick Off 3pm
On Saturday we welcome newly promoted Institute to the Oval for the first time since New Year’s Day 2015. As a club we would like to welcome Institute back to Premiership football. Institute is a club that has faced terrible off the pitch ordeals so it is a testament to the club’s officials, manager, players and supporters that they achieved promotion last season despite the tragic loss of their stadium in winter storms. They certainly deserve their place in this division.
This Saturday Glentoran Women travel to Windsor Park to face Linfield Ladies in the Electric Ireland Women's Irish Cup Final
This is our first Cup Final since 2012. A similar result will do the trick this time as on that occasion the team ran out 3-2 winners over Crusaders Strikers at Solitude with a team containing current players Kelly Bailie, Nadene Caldwell, Demi Vance, captain Jess Foy and the current First Team Coach Gail Redmond.
The most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching ... less than 100 days to Christmas.
For most of us that’s the time of year we get to spend time with our families, exchange gifts, sit round a large table and eat our own body weight in Turkey and Christmas pudding!! But sadly that is not always the case for some families.
Glentoran made heavy weather of this County Antrim Shield tie as two late Curtis Allen goals saw us through to the second round after Queen's had taken a half time lead. Ronnie McFall resisted the temptation to make wholesale changes to the side that defeated Newry City, with the injured Robbie McDaid replaced by Sam Byrne and James Ferrin making his first appearance of the season against his former club in place of Willie Garrett.
