Kick Off 7.45pm
Tomorrow evening we visit Balltmena with the opportunity to avenge our New Year defeat at the Showgrounds.
Despite their progression to the Quarter Finals of the Irish Cup, Ballymena United have won just one league game since the sides last met at Warden Street on January 2nd, picking up just two points from their last five games and failing to score a goal.
Everywhere else it was St Valentine’s Day, but in East Belfast it was Burns’ Night as midfielder Bobby led the way with two goals and an assist in this very comfortable “Big Two” victory in the Danske Bank Premiership at the Bet McLean Oval.
The Glens showed just one change from Saturday’s draw at Coleraine with Conor McMenamin being given his first start since November and his serious injury.
In Tuesday night’s Glentoran Gazette Rodney McAree reveals he was disappointed at only picking up one point on Saturday despite a wonder goal from Conor McMenamin which put us in the driving seat close to the end of the game at Coleraine and adds that he views tonight’s Big Two derby as a tough task against a talented and physically strong Linfield team. Meanwhile, Jamie Megarry says Linfield are coming into the game with their tails up after a big win over Cliftonville.
Tuesday 14th February 2023
Kick Off 7.45pm
On Tuesday evening we welcome our old rivals Linfield to the Bet McLean Oval for what will incredibly be the fifth of six meetings between the Big Two this season.
Although Saturday’s crucial win over then leaders Cliftonville has pushed Linfield to within 3 points of the league summit, David Healy’s side have experienced a mixed fortunes since the sides last met at the same venue on Boxing Day.
A wonder goal from Conor McMenamin wasn't enough to take the points at Coleraine in today's Danske Bank Premiership fixture. The Glens had come from a goal down to take the lead with just 8 minutes remaining but a late Matthew Shevlin strike rescued a point for the Bannsiders.
