Match Preview: Glenavon v Glentoran
Friday 9th August 2019, Kick Off 7.45pm
Another new season starts with a visit to Mourneview Park, scene of what was probably our best performance of 2018/19 with our 4-2 Europa League play-off win in May.
Our record in Lurgan is the complete reverse of our home record against Glenavon as we have had just one defeat in our last eleven league visits and no defeats there since April 2015. With a strengthened squad so far this summer, we will obviously be looking to continue that record with another win to kick off the league campaign.
Glentoran Women 12-0 Comber Rec
Glentoran Women moved within two points of the top of the Danske Bank Women's Premiership tonight with a comfortable home win over Comber Rec. The scoring was led by Rachel Rogan with four and Kelly Bailie with two. Other scorers were Jessie Davis. Makayla Mulholland, Kerry Beattie, Danielle Maxwell, Vicky Carleton and Olivia Marshall.

Young Glens into NI Supercup Final
Glentoran 2006 team capped a fantastic comeback in the Northern Ireland Supercup today, to qualify for the final with a 1-0 over Finn Harps.
The Story So Far:
The boys got off to a shaky start on day one of the tournament, losing 2-1 to Bertie Peacock against the run of play. This really put the Glens up against it as it usually takes three wins to top a Supercup group. Only first place in the group make the super cup proper.
Brendan Hamilton scored the goal in that match.
