Statement From The Board of Directors
Statement from Glentoran F.C. 16th October 2013.
With reference to the article by Graham Luney in the Belfast Telegraph on 15th October.
We accept that Graham’s article was generally measured and was not intended to be malicious. However, it has clearly misjudged the mood and attitude of the vast majority of Glentoran supporters.
Jim Lewis
Last weekend we learned of the passing of former Glentoran player, Jim Lewis. Described in Roy France's book as a utility player, Jim featured mainly as a full back or half back. He made his debut in the 1948-49 season and went on to make 158 appearances for the Glens, including playing in the 'Back to the Oval' game against Linfield and the three epic Irish Cup final games against Derry City in 1954; Jim being named 'Man of the Match' in the second match. By the time Jim Lewis finished at the Oval at the end of the 1955-56 season he'd scored 14 goals.
Fixture rearranged
The Danske Bank Premiership game against Portadown, originally scheduled for Saturday 30th November, has been rearranged for Monday 2nd December at the Oval with a 7.45pm kick off. This game will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Warrenpoint Town 0-1 Glentoran
Glentoran travelled to Stangmore Park Dungannon to face Warrenpoint Town in the Danske Bank Premiership and a solitary goal from Marcus Kane early in the second half saw the Glens return to Belfast with 3 points.
Match Preview
This weekend it's matchday eleven in the Danske Bank Premiership and Glentoran travel to Stangmore Park, Dungannon to face Warrenpoint Town. After 10 games in this season's league campaign, new boys Warrenpoint Town are sitting in eleventh position in the table with 8 points on the board. Life in the top division began with a 3-2 defeat to Dungannon Swifts but in their second match, against the other promoted side, Ards, Warrenpoint Town secured their first victory with a 2-1 away win.
New camera presented.
During the close season Glentoran manager Eddie Patterson and his assistant, Tiernan Lynch made it known that they would like to have games videoed to assist in post match analysis. The Internet GSC found out about this request and purchased a camera and all the ancillary kit which was presented to Eddie prior to the Linfield game on Tuesday night. The equipment will be operated by Aaron Agnew to whom the club is very grateful.
Pictured making the presentation to Eddie are Internet GSC Chairman, David Griffiths and Jodie Killops.

Glentoran 0 - 0 Linfield (aet)
A superb defensive performance from ten man Glentoran in the end came to nothing as Belfast rivals Linfield won through to the next round of the League Cup on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes.
Tuesday night's Gazette
Look out for the Glentoran Gazette on sale for the League Cup clash with Linfield at the Oval.
Jason Hill adorns the cover and inside we celebrate his 300th appearance for the Glens, which came on Saturday against Dungannon Swifts - a game he will certainly not forget in a hurry!
As well as that, there is match action from the win over the Swifts; Eddie Patterson and Elliott Morris give us their view on the win and this visit of our old rivals, whom we will, of course profile.
