KUKRI EXTEND PARTNERSHIP WITH GLENTORAN F.C.
Kukri Sports is delighted to announce an extension to its partnership with Irish Premiership club Glentoran F.C. The deal which will run until the end of the 2014-15 season will see Kukri continue to provide all playing and training kit to the East Belfast club – who were the first top-flight local football club to wear Kukri kit when the partnership began in 2011.
Many congratulations to young Academy player Matthew Irvine who yesterday won the IFA Search for a Star Competition.
After impressing in the heats and earning himself a place in the finals at Ashfield School 3G facility, Matty had to complete an afternoon of skill based drills and ball mastery tests under the watchful eye of the IFA judging panel.
For added pressure Matty was up against the selected best from around the country from as far out as Fermanagh in his age bracket of 2001 born players.
Andy Waterworth’s 50th Glentoran goal in stoppage time clinched the points for a lacklustre Glens at the Oval this afternoon.
On the back of Monday night's disappointing exit from the Irn-Bru Cup, Glentoran are looking to bounce back with three points in the league this Saturday against Dungannon Swifts at The Oval. The Glens have worryingly slipped out of the top half of the Danske Bank Premiership into 7th after the 1-1 draw with league leaders Cliftonville last weekend. This slip also saw arch-rivals Linfield overtake us for the first time this season. Dungannon are the visitors this weekend as we look to respond to the recent slump in form with victory tomorrow.
The Board of Directors have confirmed the arrangements planned for this year's Act of Remembrance to be held on Saturday at our home game with Dungannon Swifts.
In conjunction with the Glentoran Community Trust and as a development of the permanent memorial to our former goalkeeper Thomas Pearson, who was killed in action in North Africa in 1942, his full citation will be permanently displayed at the Directors entrance. The unveiling of this, coupled with the laying of two wreaths, one by a director and the other by a supporter will take place at this spot at 2.30pm.
Next Friday 9th November, Glentoran Football Club would like to invite all it's supporters to a fun night at The Oval from 7pm (6.30pm doors open). The evening being called 'Super Friday' is sure to be a brilliant night with many activities ongoing as well as a number of special announcements being made by the club on the night. The programme is as follows:
Launch of the new Glentoran Away Kit (free burger with every purchase)

Q&A session with Glentoran manager Eddie Patterson and players
Glentoran Seconds will face Ballyclare Comrades in the semi-final of the Steel & Sons Cup at Seaview on Friday 30th November after a 3-nil victory over Lisburn Rangers at Wilgar Park last Saturday.

A disappointing night at Mourneview Park has seen Glentoran exit the Irn-Bru Cup at the hands of Glenavon at Mourneview Park. The Glens named an unchanged side from that which performed well on Saturday and things seemingly got off to a decent start tonight as well with a quick tempo about our play. The first real opportunity of the game fell to Andy Waterworth as he used his pace to break clear of the Glenavon defence only for his powerful shot to be straight at Glenavon goalkeeper Andrew Coleman.
