www.glentoran.com recently caught up with David Lowry, Manager of our Under 20 team, to get his thoughts on the start to the season, to bring our supporters up to date with the comings and goings at reserve team level over the summer and to get some understanding on his thoughts for the season ahead.
An 86th minute winner cost Glentoran what would have been at least a deserved draw in the season’s first “Big Two” match. But while late goals proved consistently costly last season, the manner of this defeat was very different in a game where resolute defending and strong, fast forward play again demonstrated the clear improvement in the Glens and our ability to compete much more effectively with the league’s better sides this season.
With at least 3 of our official outlets now sold out and demand for tickets very high, Linfield have informed us that there will be tickets available on the concourse leading to the North Stand at Windsor Park tomorrow, prior to kick off. Glentoran supporters are urged to get to the stadium early to avoid disappointment,

On Saturday our strong start to the season faces another major test as we make travel to the season’s first Big Two meeting with our old rivals Linfield at Windsor Park.
The Board of Glentoran Recreation Company announce that Richard McGuinness has resigned from the GRC Board.
Richard has been a Director of the club since August 2014, as an appointed representative of the Glentoran Community Trust. He will continue his work in that role as a member of the Board of Glentoran 1882.
This week’s 3-1 win over Ballyclare Comrades marked another clear demonstration of the vital importance of the Glentoran Academy, in producing first team players of both the present and future. In addition to Paul O’Neill, Mal Smith and James McCarthy all establishing themselves as first teamers this season, the Ballyclare game saw a first team debut for Lewis McGarvey, a return for Salou Jallow and a debut for Charlie Lindsay as the youngest ever Glentoran first-team player. Last but not least, we saw first senior goals from Mal and Salou.
Glentoran manager, Mick McDermott again rang the changes for the visit of Ballyclare Comrades in tonight's Toals Co Antrim Shield tie at a wet Oval.
There was a first team debut for Lewis McGarvey at right back, a first start in the centre of defence for Cameron Stewart and the return of Salou Jallow. Young players, Mal Smith and James McCarthy were also in the starting XI.
Tuesday 10 September 2019, Kick Off 7.45pm
Toals County Antrim Shield Round One
On Tuesday we go for our fifth successive win when we welcome Ballyclare Comrades to the Oval for the second time in a fortnight, this time in the first round of the Toals County Antrim Shield.
As our club embarks on a new, exciting era it was very happy before Saturday’s match against Larne, to welcome back onto the Oval pitch and to recognise some of the greatest players ever to represent Glentoran. Before the match the guys all had a get together in the Ron Manley Suite, a very fitting location as no fewer than eleven of these players had been teammates of Yorkie.
The 25 men present on Saturday represented every Championship or Irish Cup winning team as far back as 1964 and the club’s run to the European Cup Winners’ Cup Quarter Final in 1973/74.
