For the fourth time this season, Glentoran supporters have voted Elliott Morris as Player of the Month for January.
Elliott secured 42% of the vote to be a clear winner. Runner up was Dylan Davidson with 11%, followed by December winner Calum Birney and Kym Nelson, both on 9%.
Looks like we have a very firm favourite for the 2017/18 Glentoran Player of the Year.
Two second half goals were enough to give Glentoran three points in a scrappy encounter with Ballinamallard United on a bitterly cold night at The Oval. Goals from Willie Garrett and Curtis Allen were enough to overcome Sean Noble’s first half opener. Glentoran made one change to the side that won 4-0 at Ballyclare Comrades on Saturday with James Knowles coming in for the suspended Dylan Davidson. On a frosty night the game started slowly with both teams looking cautious early on.

Tuesday 6th February 2018, 7.45pm.
On Tuesday night we welcome Ballinamallard United to the Oval for our rearranged Danske Bank Premiership match. We do so on the back of our promising 4-0 Irish Cup win at Ballyclare on Saturday. We all hope that comprehensive win gives the players the confidence boost needed to drive our push for a top six finish and further cup success.
Our postponed Danske Bank Premiership match with Carrick Rangers has been rearranged. The new date and time is:
Tuesday 13th February
Kick Off 7.45PM
Belfast Loughshore Arena, Carrickfergus.

It was Curtis Allen to the 'four' as the Glens booked their place in the quarter finals of the Tennents Irish Cup at Dixon Park this afternoon.
On a bright but cold Saturday afternoon in Ballyclare, Glentoran comfortably saw off the home side, scoring three first half goals, a second half penalty and also hitting the woodwork on two further occasions.

This Saturday we continue this year’s Irish Cup campaign with a visit to Ballyclare.
We haven’t played the Comrades in the Irish Cup since the same stage in February 2010, again in Dixon Park when a Colin Nixon goal and a penalty from Gary Hamilton were enough to secure a 1-2 win for the Glens.

It is much appreciated.
Further transfer dealings for Glentoran this evening as we are delighted to welcome Peter McMahon to the club.
Right sided midfielder Peter (28) joins the club 24 hours after scoring an outstanding equaliser for Dungannon Swifts in last night's BetMcLean League Cup win over Crusaders. He has been with Swifts since September 2016, following three years with Portadown in the Danske Bank Premiership. He should be well known to Glentoran supporters, having scored against us for the Ports in three different games.
The club is pleased to announce the signing of Republic of Ireland Under 21 player Alex O'Hanlon.
