Glentoran are competing in the inaugural NIFL Academy Development Leagues this season taking place at under 16 and under 18, bringing these two age groups under the NIFL banner for the first time along with the U20 Development League.
We already provide you with regular match reports on our U20 team here on Glentoran.com and will endeavour to bring you up to date news and reports from our 16s and 18sas the season progresses.
Our under 18s, managed by Michael McClelland, have a very different look about them than last season's under 18s.
It was a draw which felt like a defeat.
Glentoran, leading from a 14th minute goal from John Herron and with the home side reduced to 10 men after 52 minutes, were unable to see the game out. But for the heroics of Elliott Morris in the final minute of stoppage time it could have been an even worse journey home for the travelling supporters.
