Glentoran v Carrick Rangers
Friday 24 March 2017, 7.45pm
On Friday evening we welcome Carrick Rangers to the Oval for our third meeting of the season.
Carrick’s previous visit to the Oval, our third game of the season back in August, is widely seen as the match that set the tone for our poor season as a goal from Miguel Chines won the match 1-0 for Carrick. In October we visited the Belfast Loughshore Hotel Arena for a 1-2 win through goals from Curtis Allen and Steven Gordon.

Schools Cup Winners to visit the Oval
Glentoran will be delighted to welcome the first eleven from Grosvenor Grammar School to our home Danske Bank Premiership match against Carrick Rangers on Friday night.
The Grosvenor boys won the Northern Ireland Schools’ Cup after a 3-1 win over St Columbs, Londonderry at Seaview on St. Patrick’s Day.
Goals from Josh Kelly and Stuart Nelson in extra time brought the cup to East Belfast after Conor Kernoghan’s opener was cancelled out in normal time.
The 1935 Irish Cup final between Larne and Glentoran took almost a month to complete! The Glens had reached the decider having seen off Ards (3-1), Linfield (4-2) and then Ballymena United in the semi-final (3-0). A scoreless draw in the first game on 6th April was followed by another four days later. The third and decisive game, played at Windsor Park on 30th April ended in a 1-nil victory for Glentoran and was the 6th of our 22 wins in the competition.
The 2017 Danske Bank Women’s Premiership season has been launched at an event at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park, with representatives and players from all seven teams in attendance including Ballymena United Allstars who join the league following their promotion.
A hat-trick from Curtis Allen and a close range header from Steven Gordon gave the Glens a much needed three points at the Ballymena Showgrounds this afternoon. The result moved Glentoran to within a point of 7th placed Dungannon Swifts and the race for that Europa League play-off place is very much alive.
Ballymena United v Glentoran Saturday 18 March 2017, kick-off 3pm.
Glentoran made it five games without a win following another poor performance at the Coleraine Showgrounds.
A lovely early spring day at Coleraine and, apart from a bumpy looking pitch, ideal conditions for a game of football, but what Glentoran team was going to show up today?
Coleraine v Glentoran Saturday 11 March 2017, kick-off 3pm.
PLEASE NOTE: The PSNI have requested that Glentoran fans are to enter the ground by Hillman's Way. Ballycastle Road is for disabled access only. Thank you for your cooperation.
This week we make our second visit to the Showgrounds for our third meeting of the season with Coleraine.
