Academy off on Tour
The coming half term school holiday week sees three of our Academy teams head off to England/ Scotland to play challenge matches against professional clubs.
Glentoran will be glad to see the back of Glenavon for a few weeks after another tough result to take over the Lurgan Blues this afternoon at The Oval. Following a row over Gary Hamilton's eligibility for the last meeting between the sides at The Oval which stretched on into the New Year, the rejection of Glentoran's appeal left a sour taste in particular with both teams being so tight in the table.
It's match day 29 and Glentoran and Glenavon meet in the Danske Bank Premiership at the Oval on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off.
The Halfers rollover prize from our last home game against Armagh City is still unclaimed. The winning ticket number was 7153 with a prize of £795. If this is not claimed by 3pm this Saturday, 14th February, then the Halfers prize for the game against Glenavon will be a DOUBLE ROLLOVER with a potential prize of over £1000.
Glentoran boss, Eddie Patterson, made just one change to the team which defeated Armagh City in the Irish Cup last Saturday; David Scullion coming into the starting eleven with Danny McKee dropping to the bench.
Midfielder David Scullion has signed a 2-year extension to his contract. Scullion, who is the second highest appearance maker in the current Glentoran squad behind Elliott Morris, put pen to paper at the weekend. David is currently on 127 appearances for the club and has scored 31 goals, includine 9 this season so far.

All the goals came in the second half as Glentoran eased into the quarter finals of the Irish Cup where they will face Dungannon Swifts at the Oval. There was little to cheer the fans in a nondescript first half and, while the Glens enjoyed the bulk of the possession, chances were few and far between. Steven Gordon fired a shot straight at Armagh ‘keeper Sean Morgan after eight minutes and midway through the half the Armagh defenders were forced to clear off the line from corners twice in quick succession, but the home supporters were left hoping for rather than expecting a goal. The vis
Glentoran face Armagh City at the Oval this weekend in the Irish Cup with a place in the quarter finals up for grabs. City are currently sitting in mid-table in Championship 1 having won 5, drawn 3 and lost 8 of their league games this season. The Cup is a different matter though and if Glentoran players don't perform to the level they are capable of then an upset could be on the cards.
All at Glentoran FC would like to wish a speedy recovery to Colts goalkeeper Rhys Clougherty who suffered a broken leg in a game last night. Rhys is currently undergoing treatment for the injury and we would like to send him our best wishes and hope he is back in action again soon.
