Glentoran and Coleraine’s league positions stayed unchanged as a result of this scoreless draw at the Showgrounds in front of one of the lowest travelling Glentoran supports for many years. Really the game lived up to its mid-table billing with only a couple of missed sitters as talking points.

NIFL has announced today that all Sports Direct Premiership games scheduled for Monday 1st January have been brought forward by two days.
That means that our home game with Cliftonville will now be played at the Bet McLean Oval on Saturday 30th December at pm.
A reminder that this Saturday (11th November) on the 105th anniversary of the Armistice, Glentoran Football Club will conduct a Remembrance Service at the Bet McLean Oval.
The service will be conducted by Club Chaplain, Rev. David Thompson at the Glentoran Remembrance Plaque at the Directors’ Entrance of the main stand. The Club Chairman and other club officials will be in attendance.
All Glentoran supporters, local residents and all who wish to pay their respects to the fallen are very welcome to attend.
The game was ultimately settled by Glentoran indecision in both boxes, despite a late rally after falling two goals behind. A minute’s silence was also observed before kick-off to remember all those who gave their lives in both world wars and later conflicts. The chairmen of both clubs laid poppy wreaths to mark the occasion.
Glentoran FC is delighted to announce that our young full back Johnny Russell has signed his first full time professional contract with the club. This will keep Johnny at the Bet McLean Oval until the end of the 2025/26 season.
Johnny (19) has been with the club since joining as a 10-year-old, so is currently in his ninth season at Glentoran. It’s a tremendous achievement for any young player to make it all the way through from 10 to the first team so Johnny has showed great determination and talent to now make it to full time football.
With a number of regulars called up to the first team squad this week, it was a very young squad that fought out a solid goalless draw with Crusaders tonight, at Ashfield in the NIFL U20 Premiership.
It was great to see the sorely missed Seanan Clucas commence his return to action in this game. Seanan played for over an hour in his first match since January due to a groin injury. This will be good news for the senior management and the broad Glentoran support.
