A routine victory at the Bet McClean Oval this afternoon ensures Glentoran’s place in the semi-final of this year’s Clearer Water Irish Cup. A goal in each half from David Fisher and Charlie Lindsay – the latter in his first start since returning to the club - ensured a comfortable outing in which Aaron McCarey was rarely threatened in the Glens goal.
Warren Feeney hopes to have a few of the club’s recent casualties available to face a Ballyclare Comrades side that he says the Glens will pay every respect to. However, the manager also reveals that club captain Marcus Kane is a new doubt. Graphic artist Beth Stafford has Aaron McCarey as the subject of the cover of another 40-page edition of the Gazette, a Cup special which puts the focus on the Championship team’s season so far – on and off the pitch - and pinpoints the men the Glens defence will have to keep an eye on.

It was with great sadness that we learned at Glentoran of the passing of Mrs Vivienne Jackson, dear wife of our former player and legendary manager Tommy Jackson.
Deepest and most sincere condolences from his many friends at Glentoran to Tommy, their son Barry and the rest of the Jackson family circle and friends.
A very different experience from last week for Glens supporters as this game against the reigning Sports Direct Premiership Champions was effectively over as a contest from the 39th minute when Larne opened the scoring.
With Paddy McClean still injured, Warren Feeney started with the same 11 that defeated Newry last week. From the outset Larne showed areal urgency and combativeness on and off the ball with Lee Bonis hitting the bar on 9 minutes and Seanan Clucas blocking a shot from Larne’s Mexican midfielder Jaziel Orozco 2 minutes later.
Friday 23rd February
Kick Off 7.45pm
Tomorrow night first faces fourth in the Sports Direct Premiership as we head to Inver Park to face the reigning champions.
The draw has been made for the forthcoming season’s Women’s All Island Cup, run jointly by Northern Ireland Football League and the League of Ireland.
This season Glentoran Women have been drawn in a group with holders Galway United, Sligo Rovers and Athlone Town.
The dates for individual matches have yet to be agreed but this season the tournament is to be played over a longer period than last season’s inaugural cup.
The top two teams in each group will go forward to the quarter final and ties will be played on the following dates:
Glentoran were delighted to welcome Terry Conroy back to the Bet McLean Oval last weekend for our home game against Newry City.
Terry was accompanied by Robert Banks (son of England's 1966 World Cup winning goalkeeper, Gordon), Andrew Edwards (sculptor of the excellent Pat Jennings statue - recently unveiled in Newry) and Steve Smith.
Tickets for Friday evening’s Sports Direct Premiership match v Larne at Inver Park (KO 7.45pm) will on general sale to Glentoran supporters tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 10am.
