Ballymena United 0-1 Glentoran
Before kick off both teams and both sets of supporters respectfully observed a minute's silence on this Remembrance weekend.
Match Preview
Glentoran will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to six games as they travel to the Ballymena Showgrounds tomorrow.
The managerless East Belfast side have collected eight points in their last four league games to leapfrog Ronnie McFall’s struggling Portadown for sixth spot.
The latest point came last week at the Oval where the spoils were shared with a Coleraine side rich in form. The Bannsiders were on the back of tremendous run, gathering six wins and two draws in their previous eight games.
James (Jim) Kitchen
The Chairman, Directors and everyone else at Glentoran would like to offer our deepest condolences to club director Simon Kitchen on the loss of his father early this morning (3rd November).
Mr Kitchen passed away peacefully after a period of illness. Our thoughts are with his wife Mrs Pat Kitchen, Simon, his daughter Jasmine and all of the family circle at this sad and difficult time.
Le Jeu Avant Tout
Victory Shield
Glentoran would like to extend our best wishes to Northern Ireland U16 as they commence their Victory Shield campaign at 2pm on Sunday against the Republic of Ireland in Wales.
This years Victory Shield has a different look to it as it is without England, Sunday's opponents the Republic of Ireland taking their place. The tournament also will take place at one venue across one week as opposed to the traditional home and away fixtures.
This year's tournament will take place in Wales at the Welsh FA's Football Development Centre in Newport, Dragan Park.
Smith Forges Ahead
To the casual onlooker, this season has been an up and down one so far for Glentoran Academy - scratch just below the surface however and revealed is a fast tracked system to the top of the local game.
A bold statement perhaps but the emergence of Jonathan Smith into first team football and the selection of five players for next week's Victory Shield speaks for itself.
Glentoran 1-1 Coleraine
Glentoran and Coleraine played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at the Oval on Saturday. With both sides in good form of late, it was always going to be a tight affair and so it proved with few clear cut chances.
Match Preview and Supporter Information
We would like to advise supporters attending Saturday's Danske Bank Premiership game at the Oval between Glentoran and Coleraine that the normal approach road to the Oval, Parkgate Drive, is closed to traffic due to ongoing road works. Pedestrian access is still possible.
