Glentoran 4-2 Crumlin Star
Glentoran welcomed Crumlin Star to the Oval for a County Antrim Shield 1st Round tie on Tuesday night and ran out 4-2 winners. The visitors are the current NAFL Premiership Champions and whilst Glentoran dominated the first 45, the amateur league side gave a good account of themselves in the second half, testing the youthful Glentoran side. Gary Haveron made 11 changes from the side which worked hard in overcoming Ballymena at the weekend but the side he fielded did not lack first team experience, particularly in the middle of the park.

Under 20s Unbeaten Run Ends
Glentoran 20s suffered their first defeat of the season last night at The Oval as they went down 4-2 to rivals Linfield in their NIFL Premiership Development League game.
The Glens got off to the worst possible start going a goal down inside two minutes - Linfield punishing a lapse of concentration.
Linfield doubled their lead from a corner kick soon after to further compound a miserable start to the game from Glentoran.
