Glentoran Under20 Player of the Month for December
Congratulations to Jack Henderson who has been named as our u20 Player of the Month for December.
Jack started the month with an impressive display against Crusaders at Seaview where he crowned the performance with a goal in a 6-3 win before back to back man of the match displays against Institute and Warrenpoint.
Jack then added a second goal in December with a cracking 20 yard strike in the 2-2 draw with Newry.
Crusaders 4-1 Glentoran
Debutant Lukasz Gwiazda looked like he might have a debut to really remember today until the names Heatley and Owens – so often the scourge of Glentoran and all other Irish League defences – stepped up to bring to an end this season’s dreams of a 23rd Irish Cup for Glentoran at Seaview this afternoon.

Match Preview: Crusaders v Glentoran
Saturday 5th January 2019, Kick Off 3pm
We go to face Crusaders on Saturday to open what we hope will be a successful Irish Cup campaign and although it will be a challenge facing Crusaders in their current good form how better to try to put the New Year’s Day horror show behind us.
Ronnie McFall Resigns
Ronnie McFall has stepped down as manager of Glentoran with immediate effect.
Gary Smyth will take responsibility for first team matters as outlined in our long term strategy. Gary will be assisted by Paul Leeman.
The Board of Directors would like to thank Ronnie for his hard work and complete commitment over the past 11 months and to wish he and his wife Anne all the very best for the future. Ronnie – as both player and manager – has played a very important role in the history of Glentoran Football Club. He and Anne will always be very welcome at the Oval.
Supporters Clubs Unite for Generous Donation
Before kick off at our recent home match with Crusaders, a presentation was made on the pitch on behalf of a number of our supporters clubs.
Members of the Raven , 1st Newtownards , Castlereagh , Victoria , Ballymac and 1923 Supporters Committee handed over a cheque for just over £2000 to Glentoran First Team Coach Paul Leeman. The money was raised and donated to cover the costs of some essential training equipment needed for both training nights and match days.
