Prior to Monday night's Co Antrim Shield fixture at the Oval members of the successful Glentoran Women's teams showed off their silverware after yet another successful season.
Kelly Bailie, who has won 50 caps for Northern Ireland, Lyndsey Corry (captain of Glentoran/BU 1sts) and Eva McCloskey (captain of Glentoran/BU Reserves) displayed the IFA Women's' Cup, the NIWFA Premier League Cup and NIWFA Reserve Cup to the appreciative home support.
All at Glentoran Football Club were saddened to learn of the sudden passing of former player, David Mills at the weekend.

Antrim Shield on 17th May 1985. Following his time at the Oval, David moved to Portadown and then Lisburn Distillery.
Stuart Elliott is in contention for Monday night's game after scoring for the Seconds on Friday night. Elliott completed 90 minutes and found the net as the Seconds continued their excellent start to the season with a 4-3 win.
