Glentoran made it six wins in seven Danske Bank Premiership games with an emphatic 6-1 win against Dungannon Swifts at the Oval this afternoon. The last time the two teams met, at Stangmore Park in August, the Glens were on the wrong end of a 3-1 score line in what was probably our worst performance of the season. Today was different and although we hit 6 goals you feel that there is still more to come from this side.
Glentoran's Demi Vance has been named Women's Player of the Year by the Northern Ireland Football League.
Demi - who first joined the club as a fifteen year-old - played a pivital role in the season just past, as Glentoran Women won the Irish Cup, League Cup and County Antrim Cup as well as a third place finish in the league. She was also a regular starter in Kenny Shiels' Northern Ireland team.
A full story will appeare here in the coming days.
Congratulations Demi!

On Saturday we look to both bounce back from out County Antrim Shield disappointment and also get some revenge on Dungannon Swifts for their comfortable defeat of at Stangmore Park in August.
Glentoran’s six match unbeaten run came to a disappointing but familiar end tonight – a single goal by Joe Gormley consigning us to a single goal defeat to Cliftonville.
We started with three changes from our draw with Institute – Elliott Morris, Paul O’Neill and Darren Murray coming in for Marijan Antolovic, Cricky Gallagher and Elvio Van Overbeek, all on the bench this evening. Elliott Morris – who has played in all our cup matches so far this season – turned back the years with an outstanding, man of the match performance in the Glentoran goal.
Tickets for our County Antrim Shield Semi Final against Cliftonville at Solitude this evening remain on sale from the secretary's office at the Oval until 1pm today.
Any tickets remaining after this time will be available from Westbourne GSC between 2pm and 6.30pm.
