Prior to last weekend's Danske Bank Premiership fixture against Glenavon the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923) presented a cheque for £3000 to the parent club.
The cheque was handed over by Jimmy Carter (second left), Chairman of the Glentoran Supporters Committee (1923) and Norman Ternahan (Glentoran Gazette) to Glentoran Chairman, Stephen Henderson and Vice Chairman Colin Jess.
A makeshift Glentoran team can consider itself very unlucky to have gone out of the County Antrim Shield tonight after a 2-1 extra time away defeat to Linfield. We were the better team in the ninety minutes despite going behind to a Mitchell penalty in the fifth minute and can take great encouragement from tonight’s performance.

On Tuesday evening we travel across the city to face Linfield for the second time in fifteen days, this time in the County Antrim Shield. Both teams go into the game after a defeat on Saturday, ourselves following the controversial refereeing performance against Glenavon and Linfield following a shock 2-1 defeat to Ards in Bangor.

8-man Glentoran eventually succumbed to an 86th minute goal in today's Danske Bank Premiership match a the Oval. Having taken the lead midway through the first half Glentoran remained in front at the break despite being reduced to 9 men with both John Herron and Calum Birney receiving straight red cards. Glentoran skipper Marcus Kane was suspended for this game, James McCarthy coming in, and Connor Pepper had to sit it out due to a groin injury.

On Saturday we play second placed Glenavon for the second time this season.
Glenavon are currently in a strong run of form and sit ten points ahead of us. However our record in these games have been solid, most recently at Mourneview last month when we took a deserved second half 1-0 lead through Robbie McDaid (his fourth goal in four matches against his former club) only to give away an unnecessary penalty, converted by Stephen Murray.
