Everyone at Glentoran was saddened to hear of the passing of Eamon Byrne on Monday evening. He was 78.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Mary and his sister, Dympna. Also to Eamon's children, Lorraine, Colm, Mark, Neal, Paul,Alan and Jason.
As a tribute to Eamon we have reproduced below an article published in the Glentoran Gazette in January 2017. It was written by Roy Downes.
Congratulations to Stevie Gordon on making his 150th first team appearance in yesterday's draw with Ards.
Stevie joined the Glens from Glenavon (for whom he made a number of first team appearances under Gary Hamilton in 2011/12 season) in summer 2012, making his debut the following December as substitute for Jimmy Callacher in a 5-0 home league win over Donegal Celtic.
There will be mixed feelings after today's 1-all draw against Ards in the Danske Bank Premiership. Relief that we are still in that crucial 7th position in the table which would ensure a Europa League play-off spot but disappointment that we couldn't capitalise more on Institute's defeat at Dungannon. Gavin Peers returned to the starting line up following his suspension with skipper, Marcus Kane moving to left back and Steven Gordon going to left back. Nathan Kerr dropped to the bench.
Glentoran U20 had a convincing 4-0 home win over Ballymena United today. Glens goals were shared betweem Sean Og Gallagher, Matthew Carson, Sean Wallace and Nathan Best. In the next round the boys face an away tie with Cliftonville.

Five Glentoran players have been picked by Stephen Frail for the 20-strong Northern Ireland Under 16 development squad for a three-game challenge tournament in Bulgaria.
The squad will take part in a development tournament run by UEFA over a 10-day period.
The first competitive action will be a game against Luxembourg on Saturday (April 13) at the Hadzhi Dimitar Stadium.
They then take on Wales in the second game at the same venue in Sliven on Monday before rounding off the tournament against hosts Bulgaria at the Hadzhi Dimitar Stadium next Wednesday.
Glentoran Women have an incredible record of bringing through academy youngsters every season, and this year is no different.
Congratulations to Aimee-Lee Peachey (above), Joely Andrews, Danielle Maxwell, Kerry Beattie, Katie Stanfield and Olivia Marshall who have recently received squad numbers for the 2019 season.
At the tender age of only 16 years old, the required age to play senior womens premiership football, some of these girls joined the squad midway through last season as soon as their birthdays fell suit.
