The Academy continues to go from strength to strength this season in terms of player development and is now firmly established as one of the leading Academies in the country with a large introductory mini soccer programme and a foothold in the National League.
As many readers will know, our Academy Director - Dave Harbinson - stepped down from his role in pre-season and he has been missed, however we are now in the final stages of a recruitment process that should see a new Academy Director installed in the coming weeks.
Following an early morning pitch inspection today's game has been called OFF.
As yet we have no details regarding a new date.
Following back to back Danske Bank Premiership defeats, Glentoran desperately need to bounce back with three points over Dungannon Swifts at The Oval tomorrow. It has been no secret of recent that there has been an injury crisis at The Oval with no central midfield players fit on Tuesday night. An inexperienced bench was fielded mostly of youth players and as Eddie Patterson has said in recent interviews, has led to inconsistency on the pitch.
We welcome Dungannon Swifts to the Oval on Saturday and hopefully we can bounce back from the disappointing result on Tuesday evening.
The McLeans Hospitality Suite will be closed for this game.

Glentoran paid the penalty for a poor first 45 minutes against Ballymena United at the Oval tonight, ultimately losing 2-1 in tonight’s Danske Bank Premiership game.
Ballymena Utd are the visitors to The Oval tonight for a rearranged Danske Bank Premiership fixture. The game originally scheduled for 22nd December was called off due to a waterlogged pitch. A professional performance on Saturday against minnows Killymoon Rangers saw Glentoran into the last 16 of the Irish Cup. However our league form has suffered from inconsistency with defeats to Linfield and Cliftonville, a draw with Coleraine and just one win against Donegal Celtic in our last few games. This slip has seen Glentoran lose ground on the top 3 in the Danske Bank Premiership.
The draw for the 6th round of the 2013 Irish Cup took place at 5:30pm this afternoon.
Glentoran FC have been drawn away to Bangor. The 6th round will be played on Saturday 9th February 2013.
The draw in full is:
Lisburn Distillery v Dundela
Cliftonville v Donegal Celtic
Bangor v Glentoran
Institute v Tobermore or Kilmore Rec.
Ballymena Utd v Coleraine
Linfield or Crusaders v Glenavon
Larne or Lurgan Celtic v Knockbreda
Portadown v Ards
