There will be a minute’s silence held immediately before kick off of our Irish Cup game with Glenavon in tribute to former Derry City and Glenavon player Mark Farren who died this week. Mark – a Derry City legend and that club’s all time record goalscorer – lost his life at the tragically young age of 33 after a long illness that cut short his outstanding playing career. He was also brother in law to our former player Shaun Holmes. The club offers deepest condolences to Mark’s widow Terri Louise.
It appears from social media that Glenavon supporters will have a minute’s applause on the 10th minute of the match. We would encourage all Glentoran supporters at the game to join in the applause as a fitting tribute to Mark
