Glentoran's magnificent 2004 age group were up to their old tricks again on Saturday as they secured yet another league championship with a 4-0 win over rivals Linfield.
The 2004s have had a more challenging season than in recent years with the whole squad having played many games at Under 16 and most of them having represented the U18s. Seven of them have even played in the U20s this season. This meant that they had to run with low numbers and rarely named the same team twice in a row - often playing games missing several regular players.
Glentoran Women are delighted to announce the signing of Jessica Davis.
Jessie, from Fairfax, Virginia originally played for a few different hometown clubs growing up.

After graduation, she took some time off playing competitively to pursue her Master's Degree and career. In 2015, she started training for the 2016 season with the Boston Breakers.

The performances of the past week has almost been like a mini review of our season as Glentoran's Europa League dreams were ended by 2 extra-time goals at Solitude.
A season that started well as had us hoping to climb into that top 6 after a couple of very average years, but a late autumn slump saw us slip back again into a familiar position and one from which we failed to recover.
