Robbie McDaid scooped yet another personal award for his performances last season when he was presented with the Cookstown Glentoran Supporters Club Player of the Year before last night's match with Institute.
Croatian striker Antonio Duric announced his arrival in East Belfast last night with a debut goal in our 4-0 win over Institute at the Oval. The 21-year old made his entry as substitute for Elvio Van Overbeek in the 75th minute and soon after rose above the defence to clinically head home from a Mal Smith corner.
Just like last Tuesday night against Ballyclare Comrades, Glentoran were quick out of the blocks tonight and in front of the SKY TV cameras were two goals to the good within the opening 18 minutes.

Hrvoje Plum has celebrated his first month at Glentoran by winning the Glentoran Player of The Month for August.
Hrvoje won 26% of the supporters' vote in a keenly contested ballot after a month when he scored with a great strike against Coleraine and had a number of excellent efforts in our other games, particularly at Ballymena Showgrounds.
Mick McDermott said of the vote: “Hrvoje has given us a taste of what can do during this first month. Glentoran fans have always had a good eye for quality players and by their votes they reinforce this!
Monday 2nd September 2019, Kick Off 7.45 pm
On Monday we meet Institute at the Oval in a match rescheduled for Sky TV following the postponement of Linfield v Larne. We go in on the back of two consecutive wins – our heroics at Ballymena Showgrounds last week and our convincing midweek 5-1 home win over Ballyclare Comrades in the BetMcLean League Cup.
Institute are currently 11th in the table with three defeats and a draw from their first four games but had a very commendable draw with Coleraine to get things back on track after a difficult start.
