The first team squad start their pre-season training tomorrow (Saturday) in preparation for Glenavon’s first competitive fixture, in the Europa League, on July 2nd and 9th. Meanwhile preparations are on-going at Mourneview Park to get the stadium ready for the start of the season.

Grounds-man George Swift was hard at work this morning getting the pitch into immaculate condition ready for the big kick-off and Steward Raymond Flannagan was busy with a buddy putting up a new fence at the Crescent Stand end.
