This Friday evening we play our second away game of the season in a visit to Mourneview Park.
Glenavon have had an unbeaten start to the season and with nine points from three straight wins, go into Saturday’s match two points ahead of us. So we can expect a strong test from an in form team. However we have lost only one of our last seven matches with Glenavon, including three consecutive draws last season.
