This is from the series in the Glentoran Gazette ‘This is my Oval’ and it focuses on volunteers and loyal supporters who give that little bit extra to the club. It’s about getting the recognition the volunteers deserve and hopefully it’ll inspire others to give up their time too. This is a look back on last seasons articles

Where can you be found at the Oval?
A goal in the 43rd minute from Barry McNamee decided tonight's friendly fixture at the Oval.
Glentoran manager, Alan Kernaghan, rang the changes for the game with 3 trialists in the starting line up; Stephen Rice, Ola Olajubu and Neil Donaghy. He also gave starts to a number of players who have not featured in recent matches.
Glentoran capitalised on Monday’s win at Mourneview Park with another good three points as they defeated Ballymena United by two goals to nil at the Oval this afternoon. Goals from Johnny Smith and Ciaran Caldwell saw the Glens safely to consecutive victories for the first time in 2016. Alan Kernaghan unsurprisingly named an unchanged 11 for the home side who were looking to avoid defeat against a Ballymena side who traditionally have a good record at the Oval, winning 5 and losing just two of their last 8 league visits to East Belfast.
