The final match also marked a special milestone for manager Harry McConkey, who celebrated his 50th game in charge in the competition! 👏 A huge thank you to Modern Tyres, EXI-TITE and TeamFeePay, who came on board as sponsors for the campaign. Their support helps provide opportunities for local players to represent Northern Ireland on the European stage. irishfa.com/news/2026/octobe…

From two ACL injuries to penalty shootout hero! 🧤 After enduring two devastating knee injuries and spending much of her young career on the sidelines, Ellie Scott enjoyed a moment to remember as her penalty save helped @GlentoranWomen_ lift the Irish FA Women's Challenge Cup 🏆 A special moment and a fitting reward for her determination to get back doing what she loves👏 #TogetherWeThrive
