Glentoran and Ballymena Utd played out a scoreless draw at the Oval back on 21st September. Glentoran went into that game on the back of defeats to both Crusaders and Cliftonville and the week later suffered a 2-1 loss at Portadown. Since then though the Glens have had 3 wins (Dungannon Swifts, Warrenpoint Town & Coleraine)and a draw (v Cliftonvile) to push them to within a couple of points off second place in the Danske Bank Premiership.
All at Glentoran FC were saddened to hear of the passing of 12 year-old Darcy Coyle, granddaughter of Roy.
On behalf of the President, Chairman, Board of Directors, Management, Players, Staff & Supporters, we extend our deepest sympathy to Roy & Abbie, Darrin, Janet, Jade and Joshua. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.
Academy Roles
Glentoran Academy continues to grow from strength to strength both on and off the pitch. In order to continue to do this it is vital to get more assistance in a variety of roles.

Jonathan Tate was among the 180 children born each year in Northern Ireland with congenital heart disease. He died last October aged 22, following transplant surgery.
The Glens face the Reds for the third time this season with the visitors having won the previous two encounters. In both games Cliftonville started well and got their noses in front. Glentoran fought back but were then caught on the break and lost both games by 3 goals.
Since the 4-1 defeat of Glentoran at Solitude on 14th September, the Reds have lost to Glenavon (1-0), drawn with Dungannon Swifts (1-1), lost to Crusaders (0-2) and drawn with Warrenpoint Town (1-1). Their only league victory during this period was a 2-0 win at Ballinamallard Utd.
