CHAIRMAN'S PREMATCH REMARKS The lads were brilliant on Tuesday night down at Warrenpoint. I congratulate Davy McDaid, Niall Quinn, and coaches Tim and Ryan, for the improvement in performance. The team was exciting to watch. They showed resilience even when down to 10 men. The fans who made it to Warrenpoint went home entertained and [...]
It’s match day, it’s new shirt day and it’s an historic day! A game 64 years in the making and thrown into major doubt due to the ongoing Aer Lingus pilot strikes is finally upon us. Much has been made about the history surrounding the tie that never was but today’s the [...]
Glenavon return to the scene of last season’s unfortunate play-off semi-final defeat on Saturday when they travel to Inver Park to face Larne. While the memories of that late, late defeat to Tiarnan Lynch’s side might be at the back of some minds, there’s no doubt about what will be fresher in Gary Hamilton’s player’s memories [...]
Glenavon are back on the road for their second game of the season, as they head to Warrenpoint this Saturday (3pm). The Lurgan Blues will be looking to build on last Friday's draw against Portadown. Glenavon created plenty of opportunities but were almost punished for not taking them when the Ports took the lead in stoppage [...]
Gary Hamilton can't wait to get the new season up and running with tonight's trip to Mid-Ulster rivals Portadown (7.45pm). However, the Glenavon boss says he is keen to avoid a repeat of last year's opening day against the Ports, when the visitors to Mourneview Park won 4-2. The Lurgan Blues have bolstered their ranks over [...]
Glenavon have been dealt a blow going into tomorrow's final league game of the season against Dungannon Swifts (5.30pm kick-off) with the news that James Singleton will be out for six weeks with a broken foot. The club captain injured his foot during the game against Carrick Rangers, but didn't realise he was hurt until after [...]
Glenavon travel to Taylor's Avenue tonight knowing they need to win to keep their European play-off hopes in tact. Were Glenavon to win this evening and if Ballymena United were to drop points to Warrenpoint Town, then seventh spot would be secured for the Lurgan Blues. If both sides win then it would go down to [...]
Glenavon will look to win a record 27th Mid-Ulster Cup tomorrow (Saturday, 3pm). The final, which will be played at Mourneview Park, will be a repeat of the 2020 decider against Loughgall, which Dean Smith's side won 3-2. The Lakeview Park outfit reached the final after defeating Annagh United, while Glenavon beat a Warrenpoint Town side [...]
Gary Hamilton insists his players know they must get a result as they return to Danske Bank Premiership action this evening. Warrenpoint Town are the visitors to Mourneview Park, with the game this evening being screened on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website (7.30pm kick off). A place in the European play-offs remains the prize [...]
Tonight sees the final Mid-Ulster derby of the season with Glenavon needing three points to keep their European play-off hopes on track. Having had two big defeats against Dungannon Swifts in the Irish Cup and eighth-placed Ballymena United in the league, Gary Hamilton is hoping that his side can get back on track tonight. “Portadown have [...]
