Glentoran Women continued their domestic winning run tonight with a hard fought home win over Sion Swifts at Ashfield.
Glens opened the scoring after 17 minutes through the prolific Kerry Beattie, but the sides went into the break even after a Kerry Brown equaliser for Swifts,
The second half was an even agffair until international forward Caragh Hamilton put the Glens in front with 15 minutes to go. Debutant recent signing Imogen Lancaster made the game safe with her first Glens goal with 8 minutes left.

On Tuesday evening we are delighted to welcome Institute back to the Bet McLean Oval in the opening round of the Bet McLean League Cup,
Statement by the Board of Directors:
As the Board of Directors of Glentoran Football Club, we would like to formally offer condolences and pay tribute to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, on behalf of the club and members of the Glentoran Family
Her Majesty ascended to the throne just seven years after the end of the Second World War and just three years after Glentoran returned to the rebuilt Oval. In the seventy years since her ascendance, she has led our nation through decades of unprecedented change and devoted her life to the service of the nation and the Commonwealth.
Glentoran Football Club joins the nation in mourning the death of Her Majesty The Queen. The Club extends its condolences and deep sympathy to all members of the Royal Family at this sad time for the entire nation and Commonwealth.
Her Majesty will be sadly missed throughout the world and we thank her for a lifetime of devoted and unparalleled service.
As a mark of respect to Her Majesty, tomorrow evening's Danske Bank Premiership match v Cliftonville at Solitude has been postponed.
This October, as Glentoran FC prepares to celebrate the institution’s 140th year of playing football east of the Lagan, the story of one of the club’s finest hours, the 1914 winning of the Vienna Cup in Austria is being made into a stage play. ‘One Saturday before the War’ opens on October 6th in the Sanctuary Theatre on Castlereagh Street in the heart of east Belfast.
The play, produced by the Bright Umbrella Theatre Company, follows the Glens as they traverse Europe on the adventure of a lifetime, with the spectre of the war to end all wars looming large on the horizon.
The club would like to thank and pay tribute to our Head of Media, David Kerr who has resigned to take up full time employment with NIFL.
Tonight was 16 days short of a decade since Glentoran last played Lisburn Distillery in a competitive match at the Oval! For many of the spectators it wasn't a game that will live long in the memory but for many of the young players getting an opportunity this evening, it's a game they will never forget.
Beth Stafford and Joe Burns’ graphic of goalkeeper Ollie Webber, who returned to the club this summer after stints at Crystal Palace and Portsmouth, is the cover of tonight's Glentoran Gazette which reverts to a 16-page format for a midweek game. For the first meeting of the clubs in almost a decade Cameron Moore brings Glens’ fans a run down on the 2022-23 Lisburn Distillery squad, now operating in the Premier Intermediate league, the NIFL’s third tier.
