Match Preview

Tomorrow afternoon Glenavon are set to play their first home game of the new league campaign, as they host last year’s European play-off winners Larne.

Glenavon make the return home following a nail-biting draw at The Showgrounds in Ballymena last Saturday. The nine-men Glenavon side drew 2-2 through a stoppage time equaliser from young forward Aaron Prendergast, who made his second appearance for the first team.

Gary spoke to the Glenavon Media YouTube channel ahead of tomorrow’s fixture.

Nine-man Glenavon suffered an agonising 2-1 defeat at home to Larne on Saturday, as former Lurgan Blue Ben Doherty scored a last-gasp penalty to secure the three points for the visitors.

The Glenavon supporters, who were praised after the game by Gary Hamilton, would have gone into the game full of early season optimism. That would have been rocked on four minutes when Paul McElroy headed the hosts in front with the first goal of the Premiership season.
