Debutant Lukasz Gwiazda looked like he might have a debut to really remember today until the names Heatley and Owens – so often the scourge of Glentoran and all other Irish League defences – stepped up to bring to an end this season’s dreams of a 23rd Irish Cup for Glentoran at Seaview this afternoon.
The remaining tickets for tomorrow's Irish Cup tie against Crusaders at Seaview will be on sale at the following outlets until midday tomorrow (saturday):
Day Today (Belmont Road),
Spar (Ravenhill Road),
Westbourne GSC
Tickets are also still available at Crusaders online http://www.crusadersfc.com/static_page/page/future_ticketing
Saturday 5th January 2019, Kick Off 3pm
We go to face Crusaders on Saturday to open what we hope will be a successful Irish Cup campaign and although it will be a challenge facing Crusaders in their current good form how better to try to put the New Year’s Day horror show behind us.
Ronnie McFall has stepped down as manager of Glentoran with immediate effect.
Gary Smyth will take responsibility for first team matters as outlined in our long term strategy. Gary will be assisted by Paul Leeman.
The Board of Directors would like to thank Ronnie for his hard work and complete commitment over the past 11 months and to wish he and his wife Anne all the very best for the future. Ronnie – as both player and manager – has played a very important role in the history of Glentoran Football Club. He and Anne will always be very welcome at the Oval.
Before kick off at our recent home match with Crusaders, a presentation was made on the pitch on behalf of a number of our supporters clubs.
Members of the Raven , 1st Newtownards , Castlereagh , Victoria , Ballymac and 1923 Supporters Committee handed over a cheque for just over £2000 to Glentoran First Team Coach Paul Leeman. The money was raised and donated to cover the costs of some essential training equipment needed for both training nights and match days.
The remaining tickets for Saturday’s Irish Cup tie against Crusaders are now on sale at
Day Today (Belmont Road),
Spar (Ravenhill Road),
Westbourne GSC
Glentoran Superstore on Thursday between 4.30pm and 6.30pm.
Tickets are also available at Crusaders online http://www.crusadersfc.com/static_page/page/future_ticketing
It's now 10 games in the Danske Bank Premiership without a win for Glentoran and we now sit in 9th place in the table.
Manager Ronnie McFall opted to keep the same formation as had been used in recent weeks with just Curtis Allen up front against a side sitting 10th in the Premiership standings!
Supporters are reminded that admission to our Irish Cup tie against Crusaders on Saturday is by ticket only. Tickets will be on sale at the Superstore from 2pm tomorrow and are also available online via the Crusaders website
