On Saturday our visitors to the Oval are Larne, back in the top division for the first time in twelve seasons. Obviously a very different Larne this time due to the high-profile investment and big spending over the past two years following the takeover of the club in 2017.
Larne are currently one point and one place behind us in sixth place having played one game fewer. So, this should be a very interesting contest between two well matched teams.

Robbie McDaid scooped yet another personal award for his performances last season when he was presented with the Cookstown Glentoran Supporters Club Player of the Year before last night's match with Institute.
Croatian striker Antonio Duric announced his arrival in East Belfast last night with a debut goal in our 4-0 win over Institute at the Oval. The 21-year old made his entry as substitute for Elvio Van Overbeek in the 75th minute and soon after rose above the defence to clinically head home from a Mal Smith corner.
Just like last Tuesday night against Ballyclare Comrades, Glentoran were quick out of the blocks tonight and in front of the SKY TV cameras were two goals to the good within the opening 18 minutes.
