Ballinamallard Utd 2-2 Glentoran
An injury time goal from James Knowles rescued a point for Glentoran at Ferney Park in today's Danske Bank Premiership encounter. It was a game in which the Glens had enough chances to win but on the balance of play probably should have lost!

Ballinamallard United v Glentoran
Saturday 13th January 2018, 3.00pm.
On Saturday we make our second visit of the season to Ferney Park, just a month after our return match with Ballinamallard was postponed. On our visit to Ferney Park for the league opener we won 2-1 due to a double from Curtis Allen. Nothing less than three points will suffice this time with Ballymena United – currently one point ahead of us in sixth place – at home to Carrick Rangers.
Lurgan Celtic 1-2 Glentoran
Despite a late goal for the home side, Glentoran progressed comfortably into the 6th round of the 2018 Tennents Irish Cup. Leading 2-nil at the break the Glens wasted a number of chances in the second half to put the game to bed and the travelling support had to endure a nervous few minutes after Aaron Rodgers netted in the 90th minute.
Calum is December's Top Man
Calum Birney has won the Glentoran Supporters Player of the Month award for December. In what was a tough month for the Glens, Calum was consistently effective in a strong defence in which he was ever present. He was a clear winner of the supporters’ poll with 33% of the vote. It was also a month when he committed his future to Glentoran until May 2021, despite strong interest from a number of other clubs.

A new experience as we travel to Knockramer Park to face Lurgan Celtic in the Irish Cup Fifth Round.
This is the first time we have faced Lurgan Celtic in a competitive fixture, although we played them at the Oval in July 2016 as part of the deal to transfer Chris Lavery to Glentoran. On that occasion we won 1-0 with Lavery appropriately scoring the winner.
