Club Director Grahame Jenkins and Glentoran Academy Director Stephen Lowry proudly represented the club at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday 5th June at an event recognising 2018 recipients of The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.
Last night was the traditional end of season awards night at the Castlereagh Glentoran Supporters Club. As has been the case for more years than most of us can remember, the members of the Castlereagh GSC again recognised those players who shone throughout the season and some club servants whose contribution to the club over the years has been particularly noteworthy.
The Chairman and Board of Directors of Glentoran FC are delighted and proud to announce that the club has been successful in its application and awarded the prestigious Queens Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS).

As mentioned in an article last week, striker Robbie McDaid signed a 2-year contract extension at the end of the season. We caught up with Robbie today to get his thoughts on the new contract and his hopes for both himself and the team for the next 2 years and beyond.
How do you feel about signing your new contract?
Congratulations to Glentoran Women stars Jess Foy and Demi Vance who have been called up to the Northern Ireland squad to face European Champions, The Netherlands, in their next FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier.
On their appointment four days ago, Ronnie McFall was at pains to emphasise the importance that he and the new management team will place on providing a clear pathway for our best Academy players to make their way into first team contention. As Ronnie said, "that's always been the Glentoran way". With that in mind seven of our all conquering Under 18 squad this week committed their futures to Glentoran for next season. That follows on from Paul O'Neill, James McCarthy and Cricky Conn (now with Burnley) all featuring with the first team at the end of the season.
Congratulations to the team responsible for the Glentoran Gazette as our match programme this weekend won the Northern Ireland Gazette won the Northern Ireland Programme of the Year for a remarkable 18th consecutive season.
