Premiership Academy League Launched
The NI Football League is delighted to launch the new Premiership Academy League starting this season!
The Academy League will see the introduction of two new development leagues for Under 16 and Under 18 teams to improve the pathway to the existing Under 20 Premiership Development League ahead of the 2018/2019 season.
Please Help Kodi
On a very sad note, one of our young Academy players, Blake Brown who plays for our U10s team, has missed the last couple of months football as his 10 year old sister has been very ill. Heartbreakingly his mum and dad received the news that Kodi has a brain tumour. She is presently in Germany receiving ground breaking treatment not available in the UK.

On Wednesday 25th July our commercial manager Simon Wallace met Rodney Leiper at The Oval to welcome him as he reached us on his six day mission cycling to the ground of all 24 clubs in the NIFL premiership and championship in aid of the charity Aware NI.
Cycling over 600 miles shis is a great achievement, for a great cause, well done Rodney. You can keep up to date with his journey on his Facebook page here.
Glentoran support GoMAD (Go Make a Difference) Tanzania
In July 2018 Peter McCreery (Ruth's Superstore team) travelled to Tanzania with a group of teenagers from NI to volunteer with the charity in Tanzania.
Glentoran FC were asked to make a donation and we were only to happy to send Peter off with a few Home shirts and infant kits from 16/17 season.
Many of our supporters also helped Peter by sponsoring his abseil down Europa hotel on 10th June. This sponsorship helped cover the costs associated with the trip.

H&W Welders 0 - 2 Glentoran
On a beautiful summer afternoon Glentoran faced H&W Welders at Tillysburn Park in a pre-season friendly. The Glens started brightly with both Robbie McDaid and Marcus Kane going close in the 8th minute. On a hard, uneven surface both teams found it hard to string together any decent passing moves but it was the Glens who looked most likely to score with John McGuigan having a shot blocked on 14 minutes and then Peter McMahon firing wide after being set up by McDaid. McDaid then tried his luck with a 25 yard free kick but his effort sailed over the crossbar.
Mascots 2018/19
Every season we offer the opportunity to children (aged between 5 and 11) to be a Glentoran Mascot at any HOME match at the Oval. Priority will be given to children who have not been a mascot in previous years.
