Massive two weeks ahead for Glentoran Women
Wednesday heralds the start of what promises to be an enormous two weeks for Glentoran Women with three matches that can play a major role in defining our season:
International call ups for four
Northern Ireland Women's manager Kenny Shiels has named his first senior squad for this week's training camp, and it includes four Glentoran players.
There's a return to the international squad for last week's hat trick hero, midfielder Nadene Caldwell, and the recently returned goalkeeper Emma Higgins. They are joined by regular squad members, skipper Jessica Foy and in form midfielder, Demi Vance.
Next week's camp will act as preparation for the EURO 2021 qualifying campaign which kicks off against Norway on 30th August.
Congratulations girls and good luck.
Academy coaches secure IFA qualification
With so many young players currently playing for our Academy at various age levels, child welfare is clearly an issue Glentoran sees as a major priority for the club. To ensure full compliance, we currently have 27 coaches completing the Irish FA Safeguarding Course across last Thursday night and tonight at the National Stadium (inluding our current first team goalkeeper, Elliott Morris).
Comber Rec Ladies 0-4 Glentoran Women
A hat trick from Nadene Caldwell and one from recent signing Jessica Davis gave Glentoran Women a convincing win over Comber Rec at Londonderry Park, Newtownards this evening. The Glens closed the gap with Linfield Ladies at the top of the league to three points as the Blues drew tonight with Sion Swifts.
