Match Preview
It’s back to Danske Bank Premiership action on Saturday as Glentoran travel to Co Fermanagh to face Ballinamallard United. Whilst there remains a great deal of disappointment around the club following last Monday night’s Irish Cup defeat to Glenavon, the cup is now gone and Glentoran need to focus on finishing in as high a position as possible in the Premier League.
Two late goals end Glentoran's Irish Cup dreams.
Glentoran's Irish Cup hopes and dreams were dramatically destroyed last night in the most agonising way with 88th and 90th minute Glenavon goals cancelling out Jay Magee's first half penalty. Manager Eddie Patterson was working with the true bare bones of his squad; Calum Birney (injury), Jason Hill (injury), Fra McCaffery (ineligible), Danny McKee (ineligible), Willie Garrett (suspended) and Mark Clarke (suspended) all unavailable, as well as long-term absentees Marcus Kane and David Howland.
Glentoran v Glenavon

One player's misfortune can be another player's opportunity. It's a football cliche but it was certainly true tonight as a much changed and youthful Glentoran side swept aside Ballymena United for a deserved win at the Oval.
Glentoran v Ballymena Utd
Glentoran face Ballymena United at the Oval on Friday night needing a win to strengthen their grip on a top six place. The Glens, currently fifth in the Danske Bank Premiership, could be overtaken by the Sky Blues if they lose this game.
The two sides have met twice already this season. The first meeting at the Oval was a 0-0 draw. The second meeting at the Ballymena Showgrounds was a much more exciting affair with the Glens winning 4-3 (see the action from that game on BBC Sport NI HERE).
