McAlorum nets late winner

Tue, 28/07/2015 - 22:06

Glentoran travelled across town to face Donegal Celtic in the latest pre-season friendly fixture.

The DC keeper was in outstanding form throughout the game but a superb strike from Stephen McAlorum 5 minutes from time gave Glentoran a 2-1 win.

Danny McKee put the Glens in front on 11 minutes but the home side levelled on 19 minutes from a free kick. Right on half time Marcus Kane was unlucky to see his shot come back off the post. The Glens dominated the second period but the game looked like ending in a draw before McAlorum fired home.

Lisburn Distillery 0-1 Glentoran

Tue, 21/07/2015 - 22:44

Steven Gordon scored the only goal in tonight's friendly fixture away to Lisburn Distillery. The goal came 20 minutes into the game, Gordon chesting the ball into the net from about a yard out.

It was a game of few chances. Jonny Addis thought he'd doubled Glentoran's advantage before the interval but his goal was ruld out for offside. Addis struck a beautiful shot in the second period too and was desperately unlucky to see the ball hit the inside of the post and run away to safety. Late on Substitute Jim O'Hanlon brought an excellent save out of the Whites' keeper.
