The club is pleased to report that Bobby underwent successful surgery this afternoon for the injuries he incurred at Seaview yesterday afternoon and that he is now on the road to recovery.
Everyone at the club and the entire Glentoran Family wish Bobby all the best for a speedy recovery and return to action.
Best wishes Bobby.
A bad injury to Bobby Burns after an hour cast a shadow over this hotly contested game at Seaview. Normally a draw at this venue would be seen as a result to cherish, but today Glentoran will feel that a real opportunity was missed after dominating the first half and playing against ten men for 40 minutes.
Information and a request to season ticket holders and to members of the away ticket membership scheme.
On Sunday a test email will go to all season tickets holders and a separate one to away season holders. This is only to confirm the club currently holds the correct email address for everyone.
Saturday 28th October
Kick Off 3.00pm
On Saturday we face Crusaders for the third time this season, and second time in the Sports Direct Premiership. They are currently in 2nd place, 7 points behind leaders Linfield and 4 points ahead of us.
Congratulations to Luke McCullough on making his 100th appearance for Glentoran in Saturday’s home Sports Direct Premiership win over Glenavon.
Luke’s value to the team has been very clear to everyone this season with the leadership and composure he adds to the defence and to our performances overall. He was overwhelmingly voted Glentoran Player of the Month for August and after his injury at Newry when the Glens were riding high, his four-game league absence coincided with a winless run. His return has contributed to probably our two most convincing wins of the season to date.
Glentoran FC is delighted to announce the appointment of Leanne Dawson to the newly created role of Commercial Manager of the club.
In this full-time role Leanne will have overall responsibility for management and delivery of the club’s commercial objectives, growing profitability and helping move the club to a greater level of self sufficiency to strengthen itself both on and off the pitch.
Leanne comes to Glentoran with a wealth of experience in these areas, having been Regional Fundraiser at the Northern Ireland Hospice.
This remarkable Glentoran Women squad completed a wonderful fortnight and season at the National Stadium last night as this ultimately convincing win over Cliftonville gave them their fifth consecutive Electric Ireland Women’s Challenge Cup and their third league and cup double in four seasons.
Kim Turner made just one change to last week’s starting line up with Sarah Tweedie returning at right back so the Glens started out with the team that took them undefeated to the league title and to this final.
Glentoran continued to build upon their recent resurgence with a comfortable win over a determined Glenavon side this afternoon at The Oval. An unchanged starting XI from the recent win against Loughgall put in an excellent performance where the three points never looked like leaving East Belfast.
In tomorrow’s 40-page match programme Warren Feeney lauds the importance of Luke McCullough to the team but warns the side will have to reproduce the performance against Loughgall to overcome a Glenavon side settling in under new boss Stephen McDonnell. In a Gazette which features Shay McCartan as Beth Stafford’s cover star, Warren also has good news on the injury front.
