Glentoran inflicted Coleraine’s first defeat of the season and extended their lead at the top of the Sports Direct Premiership with a 2–1 comeback win at the Showgrounds on Friday night.
Former Glentoran defender Kodi Lyons-Foster headed the hosts into an early lead, but a brilliant second-half brace from Jordan Stewart turned the game on its head to send Declan Devine’s men home with a massive three points.
Glentoran Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of lifelong supporter Harry Clarke.
Harry, along with his brothers, was a familiar face around the BetMcLean Oval for many years and became well-known to generations of Glentoran supporters.
At one stage Harry served as chauffeur to striker John Colrain between 1966 and 1968, building a friendship that was fondly remembered when John’s family later met Harry and his wife Jo at a book launch.
Glentoran striker Jordan Jenkins says he is determined to keep raising his game as the Glens prepare for Friday night’s Sports Direct Premiership clash away to unbeaten Coleraine at The Showgrounds (kick-off 7.45pm).
The 25-year-old East Belfast forward has begun the season in fine form, contributing four goals in all competitions and supplying the assist for Danny Amos’ opening-day winner at Portadown.

Organised by the Ballynahinch Glentoran Supporters Club, the match raises funds for their nominated charity each season. This year, the chosen charity was Beyond the Battlefield.
The Legends faced a Ballynahinch United Over-40s side, but the weather was far from kind, with persistent rain falling throughout most of the game.
Glentoran Women produced a commanding display to defeat Linfield 3-0 at the Danny Blanchflower Stadium and return to the summit of the Sports Direct Women’s Premiership.
Linfield came closest in the early stages when Jodie Loughrey struck the crossbar after Ashleigh McKinnon had denied Eve Reilly, but it was the Glens who took control. On 16 minutes, Demi Vance sent a precise ball over the top for Emily Wilson, who made no mistake to give the home side the lead.
Glentoran maintained their unbeaten start to the Sports Direct Premiership season with a 1–1 draw against Linfield in the first Big Two meeting of the campaign at the BetMcLean Oval on Friday night.
Pat Hoban’s first-half penalty gave the Glens the advantage, but Chris Shields levelled from the spot after the break to ensure the points were shared.
As he looks forward to his first Big Two clash, Pat Hoban is Beth Stafford’s cover star for tonight’s Premiership showdown with Linfield. Inside, Declan Devine is confident that his squad is well up for the challenge while Glentoran Chairman Colin Jess sees a bright future for the Glens off the pitch.
