Duncan Ferguson's first game as Glentoran manager has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions. The match against Ballymena United, originally scheduled for Saturday at the Oval, was called off following a pitch inspection at midday that confirmed the surface was waterlogged.
Northern Ireland is currently under weather warnings, with strong winds of up to 75mph expected throughout the weekend. The severe weather has already impacted local football, forcing the postponement of Saturday's Women's Challenge Cup final between Glentoran and Cliftonville.
Ferguson, who was appointed as the new manager on Monday, will now have to wait for his debut. He is set to take charge of the team for the first time in an away fixture against Coleraine on Friday, 30 October.
