An opener from Jessie Davis and another double from Friday night's cup final hero, Demi Vance, secured holders Glentoran Women a place in this year's Electic Ireland Irish Cup as GWFC ran out comfortable winners at The Dub tonight.
A full report will appear here
Glentoran Women continued their recent happy habit of scoring late doubles to win cup finals as two brilliantly finished late goals from Northern Ireland international midfielder Demi Vance in the 76th and 77th minutes clinched a deserved 2-0 win over Sion Swifts in the Women's League Cup Final at Seaview.
Player of the Match, Demi was outstanding from start to finish and her two strikes certainly erased the memory of a first half penalty miss after Rachel Rogan had been fouled in the Swifts box.
The new Away 2019/20 kit will go on sale tonight at The Glentoran Superstore from 4PM until 10:00PM. A wide selection of 2019/20 training and leisurewear will also be available.

"In Bergen, I will never forget the players in the dressing room at half time, flooding the floor with rainwater, as they squeezed their shirts and shorts out. No moans, just the will to get the job done."
Those were the words of George Eastham, the Glentoran manager, speaking to the Glentoran Gazette after the first leg of the second round, European Cup Winners' Cup tie against Brann Bergen in the rain-lashed Norwegian city.
The game should never have been played. The ground flooded and was battered by incessant rain and winds.

Our goalkeepers have had a real boost since the start of pre-season training on Monday with the presence of a very special guest – highly experienced international goalkeeper coach, Des McAleenan. Des, originally from Dublin, is goalkeeper coach for the USA Under 20s squad and has worked at club level in Saudi Arabia and Iran. His club carer most notably included a highly successful nine-year spell at New York Red Bulls where he worked with a number of top-quality goalkeepers, the best known of whom were Tim Howard (Everton & USA) and Ronal Waterreus (Rangers & Holland).
