Dungannon Swifts v Glentoran
Saturday 15th April, 3pm
On Saturday afternoon, we travel to Stangmore Park for what is the absolute definition of a must win match.
Swifts are currently one point and 2 places above us in the chase for the final place in the Europa League play offs next month. As Swifts have a substantially better goal difference than Glentoran then it’s fair to say that nothing but an away win will be of any real benefit to the Glens.
Wednesday 12th April saw Glentoran travel away to face Linfield at the Hammer Complex. The game started off very competitively between the two rivals with both teams keen to make the best first impression. Glentoran was first to take charge with Rachel Rogan netting an early goal on the 7th minute despite Linfield’s keeper’s best efforts. Glentoran looked comfortable on the ball with Katie Martin and Samantha Kelly slipping balls out wide and through to the striker to put the Glens on the front foot.
Monday 10th April saw Glentoran BU kick off their first cup campaign of the season travelling away to Belfast Celtic.
Glentoran's hopes of snatching 7th place in the Danske Bank Premiership and a place in the Europa League play-offs were dealt a blow with an extremely disappointing defeat to Ballinamallard Utd on Saturday afternoon.

On Saturday afternoon, we travel to Ferney Park in our first post split match.
This will be the fourth time we have played the Mallards this season. Even in the context of the past two seasons our record against United has been particularly poor as we have not won any of the past four meetings!
We have made available below a PDF with essential information for supporters traveling to Detroit next month for our friendly against Detroit City.
Glentoran Belfast United started the season in the best possible way with a 3-0 away win at Newry Showgrounds last Wednesday night. It was a great start for the side with the goals coming from Kellie Bailie, Ali McMaster and Rebecca McKenna.

Glentoran Belfast United opened this season's Danske Women's Premiership with a comfortable 3-0 away win over Newry Ladies FC at the Showgrounds. The win was secured through a first half opener from Kellie Bailie and two goals in the second half from Ali McMaster (pictured below) and Rebecca McKenna. Well done to the management and team on this flying start.
Nacho Novo's initial 6 game suspension has been reduced to 3 games following an appeal. The other 3 games are suspended and will be based on Novo's conduct for the remainder of the season.
The 3 game ban will take immediate effect and the striker will mis the away trips to Ballinamallard Utd, Dungannon Swifts and Carrick Rangers. He will be available for selection for the Ards and Portadown home fixtures.
Prior to Friday night's Premiership fixture against Carrick Rangers, the Glentoran Academy Disability Team and Reverse Rett charity received a cheque for £1800. The money was raised at a charity evening held by the Freelance and Ballymac Supporters Clubs. Ballymac would like to thank everyone who contributed in raising this terrific amount of money at their last charity event.
