Chairman’s Invitation

The Chairman will make every effort to attend at the first available opportunity.
Goals from Sean Ward, Richard Clarke and Andrew Waterworth gave Glentoran a comfortable 3-0 win at Ballyskeagh this afternoon. It was an unspectacular performance from the Glens in freezing conditions; one of those games when the team didn’t play to their full potential but, most importantly, dug deep and still picked up 3 valuable points.
After the fantastic Setanta Cup victory over St Pat's Athletic on Monday night Glentoran must keep the momentum going in a crucial Danske Bank Premiership game against Lisburn Distillery. Glentoran sit 6th currently in the league table with 2 games in hand over Ballinamallard Utd in 5th and Coleraine in 4th. Victory would be an important marker in securing a top 6 finish enabling us to push on for the all-important European places.

Full-time St Patrick's Athletic of Dublin were big favourites to beat Glentoran in the Setanta Cup this year having finished 3rd in their league last season. But a gritty display in Dublin earned a hard fought 0-0 draw last week, enabling Glentoran to be more adventurios in Belfast this evening and eventually secure the vital goal which sends us through to the next round.
