Match Preview: Glentoran v Queen's University

Mon, 17/09/2018 - 21:37

Tuesday 18th September 2018, Kick Off 7.45pm

After a weekend off we return to action tomorrow night with a home County Antrim Shield First Round tie with Queen’s University.

We have only played Queen’s once, eight years ago to the day when we were comfortable 5-0 winners at the Oval through a hat trick from Matty Burrows and two from Daryl Fordyce.

Queen’s are currently second in the Bluefin Sport Premier Intermediate League, having won their first two matches.

Ronnie McFall said on Monday evening: “The key thing on Tuesday night is to win the match as we want to go as far as we can in all the cup competitions. I won’t be making many changes since we didn’t play on Saturday as we need to keep our momentum going for the league matches coming up. The league is our priority. We’re going pretty well and the players are in great physical shape so there’s no point making unnecessary changes where in-form players can run the risk of losing focus and momentum.

We’ve a full squad apart from Robbie McDaid who pulled up at half time in the Newry match. He’ll probably be out for another week but we won’t risk him as he’s done so well in the three matches he’s started sop far this season.

The Board of Directors at Glentoran Football Club would again request that all supporters travelling to the Oval by private car consider the local residents when deciding where and how to park. Local parking is freely available at the Arches Health Centre.
